When text messages become deadly
Thinking about Michelle Carter - Exitorial
The Girl from Plainville (streaming now on Hulu or Stan in Australia), is a fictionalised account of the text-based relationship between Michelle Carter and her suicidal boyfriend Conrad Roy.
|
In 2017, Carter was found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of 18 year old Roy.
|
This case extended the law of manslaughter (since there is no law of assisted suicide in Massachusetts) to a person who was neither present nor active (Michelle) in the act that caused the death (of Roy) in question.
|
Yet it was Michelle's words - her text messages - that found her guilty.
|
The series is an interesting watch and cannot but serve as warning.

Sarco goes to Poland
Until June, Sarco is featuring in a play about end of life choices in Poznan, Poland.
|
Long-considered the basket-case human rights country in Europe, the decision of the Nowy Teatr in Poznan to invite Sarco onto the stage as a theme for the play was both brave and welcome.
|
The presence of Sarco in Poland is already raising eyebrows, as can be seen in the Polish mainstream press.
|
Philip Nitschke has been invited to Poznan to give an after-play talk in late June.
|
Watch this space for exact details and dates.

Coming Soon
'The Essentials Edition'
In the coming months, Exit will publish complete re-write of the existing Peaceful Pill eHandbook.
|
Apart from condensing the book down to a very succinct 200 pages, there will be new Chapters on VSED (voluntary stopping of eating and drinking) and another new Chapter on VAD/ AS/ MAiD Laws around the world: in terms of how you can qualify & what you can expect.
|
Existing subscribers will have their subscriptions 'transferred' to the new Essentials Edition, while retaining access to the current Peaceful Pill eHandbook in the form of appendices.
|
A print 'Essentials Edition' will also be published mid-year.
