Andrew Denton spotlights dying woman told to leave hospital for VAD

Original: andrew denton

Voluntary assisted dying advocate Andrew Denton is drawing attention to the case of Robbi, a terminally ill Australian woman who was dying but was told by her hospital that she would have to leave the facility in order to access voluntary assisted dying. The case, reported by AusDoc, has reignited debate about how hospitals implement VAD laws, with critics arguing patients are being effectively pushed out of care at the end of life.

Why now: The story highlights a troubling gap between voluntary assisted dying laws and hospital practice, a cause Denton has championed for years.
