Philip Nitscke is the Australian answer to Jack Kevorkian who has spent years as a media darling opining that “troubled teens” should have access to suicide pills, teaching people how to commit suicide, creating the “peaceful pill,” a concoction of everyday products that can kill, and selling plastic Exit Bags for use in suicide—which I helped induce the government bring to an end when I exposed his little marketing scheme in The Australian during a 2001 anti euthanasia national speaking tour in Australia.
Now, he is invading the UK with his ghoulish proselytizing. From the story:
Australian pro-euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke plans to launch testing kits for people to check the strength of drugs they have bought to commit suicide in the UK this year, a British newspaper has reported.
Quoting Deliverance, the newsletter of Dr Nitschke’s organisation, Exit International, The Observer said the kits, which have chemicals that change colour when mixed with lethal barbiturates, would be released in May. The launch coincided with Dr Nitschke’s planned tour of Britain, and the kits would be available for about STG35 ($A72). “We decided to launch in the UK because of its enlightened attitude; many of the things we can do in the UK are banned in Australia,” the paper quoted Nitschke as saying.
People like this should be shunned. But media love him. I once debated N long distance on CNN. Before the program, the producers were tripping over themselves in embarrasingly gushing language and excited tones to thank him, thank him, for deigning to be on their program. His ego stoked, he benignly told them they were quite welcome.
In my view, he has buckets of blood on his hands.
