NEW APRIL DOXIT PODCAST
Good Death as a Human Right
NL, Germany & Austria Proclaim!
This month's Doxit Podcast takes a look at the emerging trend in Europe where courts are being challenged to rule that the right to a self-determined death is a universal human right for all.
|
Dutch group CLW have been open in acknowledging the shift in Germany, and now Austria, over the past 18 months - where the prohibition on assisted suicide has been ruled unconstitutional and an individual's right to have control over their death - whatever the circumstances - has been upheld as a fundamental human right.
|
This European progress stands in stark contrast to countries like Australia/ NZ/ USA which continue to pass laws that reflect a head-in-the-sand approach to the lessons that should have been learned over the past 2 or more decades of euthanasia practice and activism.

Change in Screen Schedule??
There is Nothing Like a Death (of a Duke) ...
There is nothing like a death to bump a program that you were waiting for from its prime time viewing slot on national TV.
|
The death of Prince Philip 2 weeks ago was enough for Australia's national broadcaster, the ABC, to replace the screening of the Laura's Choice Documentary with a tribute to the Duke.
|
For those readers outside of Australia, yes the Queen is still ... sigh ... Australia's head of state. The war of independence remains a long way off in the land downunder.
|
The good news is that Laura's Choice will 'definitely' screen on Tuesday this week, with Episode 2 destined to be shown on Tuesday 27 April.
|
Our Dutch lockdown & night curfew is due to be lifted on 28 April so the timing is perfect 😁!
|
To recap, Laura's Choice is about the 'bad arse' grandma Laura Henkel and the years that lead up to her death at Pegasos in December 2019.
|
|
If you are not in Australia, you can watch Laura's Choice anytime on ABC iView, as long as you have a VPN set to 'Australia'.
