3.Australia-The vote for euthanasia (安乐死) was finally taken at 3:45this morning.After six months'argument and final 16hours'hot debates.Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die.The bill was passed by the vote of 15to 10.Almost immediately world flashed on the Internet and was picked up,half a world away,by John Hofsess,the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada.He sent it on through the group's on-line service,Death NET.Hofsess says,"We posted it all day long,because this isn't just something that happened in Australia.It's world history."The full import may take a while to understand.The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical implications.Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others,including churches,right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association,bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage.But the tide is unlikely to turn back.In Australia--where an aging population,life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia.In the U.S.and Canada,where the right to die movement is gathering strength,observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start failing.
Under the new Northern Territory law,an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to put an end to suffering.The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors.After a"cooling off"period of seven days,the patient can sign a certificate of request.After 48hours the wish for death can be met.For Lloyd Nickson,a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer,the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering:a terrifying deat from his breathing condition."I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view,but what I was afraid of washow I'd go,because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,"he says.
