Sean Davison outside the High Court in Dunedin in 2011 before being sentenced for the assisted suicide of his mother Patricia. Sean Davison, formerly of Dunedin and now living in South Africa, is known for being an avid supporter of euthanasia. The Medical Sciences Council was aware of this conviction at the time it granted Davison's application for registration in 2018. Davidson founded Dignity SA, a group that supports and advocates for law change in the right to assisted suicide in South Africa. The medical council has decided to censure Davidson as well as cancel his registration immediately and order him to pay $5604 to the Professional Conduct Committee and $2835 to the tribunal.
