00:00:00
I feel because I'm I want to be really
00:00:02
open about the decisions I've made about
00:00:04
going through the assisted death and
00:00:05
maybe I could have a bit of a legacy in
00:00:08
helping people understand that there's
00:00:09
still people who don't realize it's
00:00:11
legal in New Zealand that it's coming up
00:00:13
for a review at the end of the year to
00:00:14
make sure that it definitely gets
00:00:16
through again to get people talking
00:00:18
about it because it was really hard when

I was going through I'm lucky at the
00:00:22

the whole family together rather than

just being one person and a doctor of
00:00:33
getting people together and having it as
00:00:34
a bit of a celebration of your life to
00:00:37
go rather than being this secretive
00:00:39
thing getting people talking about it
00:00:41
and if by being public about this now I
00:00:45
can get someone else talking about it
00:00:47
talking to their family about it or
00:00:49
someone else considering it as an option
00:00:51
of something that they're willing to
00:00:52
voice out loud then I think it's worth
00:00:56
it
