The bill would require a euthanasia applicant to fulfill several conditions, Hsu said. A “dignified end of life” committee should be established to conduct reviews before and after euthanasia is administered, Hsu said. Fu Chun-hao (傅俊豪) said his father, Fu Da-ren (傅達仁), a celebrated sports anchor, had to visit Switzerland twice before he underwent euthanasia last year, as it is not allowed in Taiwan. “It was not a regrettable, sad or horrific scene, but a painless and warm one,” Fu Chun-hao said. Fu Chun-hao thanked Hsu for sponsoring the bill, which would give a person in pain the choice of undergoing review.
