New Zealand euthanasia: Assisted dying to be legal for terminally ill people - BBC News

New Zealand has voted to legalise euthanasia in what campaigners have called "a victory for compassion and kindness".

Preliminary results showed 65.2% of voters supported the End of Life Choice Act coming into force as a new law.

The law will allow terminally ill people with less than six months to live the opportunity to choose assisted dying if approved by two doctors.

Its opponents say the law lacks adequate safeguards.
