New Blog - Read Now
This week's Blog by Dr Philip Nitschke provides the backstory to the arguments that have been playing out in the Netherlands between those who believe that the inorganic salts are the 'best thing since sliced bread' and those who believe that they are 'extremely unsuitable' with 'unbearable symptoms'.
|
This month's PPeH update on Sodium Azide, which is based on original, verified data raises the temperature of the debate.
|
The Blog is intriguing, contextual reading for anyone interested in the politics of the right to die debate.

Germans Struggle with Spirit of Constitutional Court Ruling on Self-Determined Death
In February 2020, the German Constitutional Court ruled that the general right of personality (contained in Article 2), as an expression of personal autonomy, included a right to self-determined death.
|
A new report by Leopoldina - the German National Academy of Sciences - seeks to set out how, in light of this ruling, assisted suicide should be regulated.
|
While the authors represent different disciplinary perspectives, there is little doubt that the main tenet of the report is driven by medical profession, and psychiatry in particular.
|
Far from being a report that takes the Court's ruling as the first building block towards a rational suicide/ and assisted suicide framework for action, the report tends to read, disappointingly, as an attempt to thwart the 'spirit' of the law in terms of self-determination.
