‘Her death was tranquil’: why Eve is urging Victorian MPs to make access to voluntary assisted dying easier

The article discusses Eve Crotty's mother, Marion, who chose to use Victoria's voluntary assisted dying (VAD) scheme to end her life with dignity. Despite Marion's wish for a peaceful and painless death, the approval process took nine "traumatic" weeks, which Crotty found deeply distressing. The article emphasizes the importance of making access to VAD easier, as it can provide terminally ill individuals the opportunity to reclaim their bodily autonomy and die with dignity. The article also includes information on crisis support services for those struggling with grief and loss.
