Dr. Linda Swan
Dr. Linda Swan is the chief executive of Go Gentle Australia, an organization advocating for the rights of individuals seeking voluntary assisted dying (VAD). She has been vocal in her opposition to proposed legislation that would restrict access to VAD for residents in aged care facilities, emphasizing the potential harm these changes could inflict on vulnerable older people. Dr. Swan argues that residential aged care is often a person's last home and that any requirement to transfer dying residents to different locations for end-of-life care is both unreasonable and detrimental to their dignity and well-being.
