On Monday night’s episode of Q&A, a 90-year-old man faced the panel and asked why politicians can’t seem to agree on legalising euthanasia.
Speaking on behalf of himself and his wife Patricia, Ron Fellows said, “we have decided that we will not go in to any kind of aged care facility”.
“And if the time comes where we can’t take care of ourselves, we will look for some form of euthanasia. We have told our children about our wishes.”
Why would you want to interfere with our wishes to access euthanasia? Margaret Somerville & @NikkiGemmell respond #QandA pic.twitter.com/qZyh7ZsOWI

Even if the Government legalizes euthanasia, it is not intended for those who wish to avoid going into a nursing home. Patricia can commit suicide anytime she likes and doesn't need the Government's permission to do so.
