New Zealand euthanasia bill set to get nod after referendum.
Voters in New Zealand are expected to have voted “yes” in a referendum to legalise euthanasia when preliminary results are announced, underlining the measure’s consistent support among the public and the backing of newly returned Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
Polling has put support for the legislation, one of two referendums put to voters during the general election earlier this month, at above 60 percent. A “yes” vote will mean New Zealand joins a small group of nations and territories including the Netherlands and Canada that have legalised assisted dying.
