Welcome to SAVES

It's my life ... It's my choice ...

No matter who we are -- it should be our human right to claim ownership of ourselves at life's end. When our most basic quality of life has been taken, through incurable illness, we each need the right to choose a peaceful end.

75% of Australians shared that view, when surveyed in a 2011 Australia Institute Poll.

Voluntary euthanasia (VE) is a community issue -- touching everyone when a family member, a friend or a colleague wants release from an illness which has no cure.

See what others have said on the subject.

Started in 1983 SAVES main aims are
  • To campaign for a South Australian law that provides for "medically assisted" end-to-life, as a right, in appropriate circumstances, and with defined safeguards.
  • To raise public debate to a point where our Members of Parliament enact a VE law which provides everyone the choice to end prolonged and painful suffering.

    • A timeline of achievements in delivering on the aims can be seen in the timeline.
