Doctors risk jail by admitting they euthanise patients - Part one | 60 Minutes Australia

Alida Lancee is a very brave Perth GP whose life is about to change. On 60 MINUTES she will make a very serious confession which will put her reputation, her livelihood and, most of all, her freedom on the line. She will publicly admit to helping one of her patients die, and she will name that patient. It's an admission which will likely lead to a police investigation and a possible charge of murder. Dr Lancee is taking this action because she says euthanasia laws need to be changed to ease the suffering of terminally ill Australians. She says if she has to pay an enormous price for her beliefs, then so be it.
