Author presents findings on end-of-life debate

Caralise Trayes

Author Caralise Trayes will present her findings on the End of Life Choice Act at Mahurangi Presbyterian Church later this month.

Caralise has interviewed a score of experts on the topic, including ACT party leader David Seymour, who has championed the legislation, plus representatives of Euthanasia-Free New Zealand and the End-of-Life Choice Society.

Caralise wrote the book “The Final Choice: End of Life Suffering: Is Assisted Dying the Answer?”, which contains extensive research covering both sides of the debate.

It contains perspectives from doctors, lawyers, ethicists, and clerics from both New Zealand and countries that have already passed similar End of Life laws.

Caralise aims to share what she has discovered to help people make an informed choice.

The evening will be structured in an interview-style format. More FM breakfast show host Brent Harbour will MC the evening.

New Zealanders will vote in a binding referendum at this year’s General Election to determine whether the End of Life Choice Act passes into law.

Caralise’s journalism has featured on TV3, Radio NZ, Newstalk ZB and Magic Radio.

She speaks on Sunday, September 27 at 7pm. All are welcome, entry is free.
