  Euthanasia would be "a legitimate thing" to speed up death for a terminally ill patient who was in pain. But he would not vote for a bill proposed by Labour MP Maryan Street that would allow any adult suffering from a condition likely to cause their death within 12 months to request medical assistance to die. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11287925
