A Special Exitorial on the UK Debate
The human right of 'a peaceful death at a time of one's choosing' has long been the motto at Exit International.

|
Now 77, Nitschke first explored the idea of delegating assisted suicide to machines in the 1990s.

After Australia’s Northern Territory became the world’s first jurisdiction to legalize the process, Nitschke was preoccupied with the risk people would see him or his colleagues as “some evil doctor delivering lethal injections to a moribund patient who didn’t know what was happening,” he says.
|
That’s how he came up with the euthanasia machine he called 'Deliverance' ...
