The Wire

The release of a Euthanasia ‘how to’ guidebook has been released on the Internet this week despite fierce opposition from some pro-euthanasia groups. Controversial euthanasia advocate Dr Philip Nitschke launched “The Peaceful Pill” hand book in London, after the print version was banned in Australia. Dr Nitschke says the book is necessary because many governments including Australia have refused to legalise properly regulated Euthanasia. But many are unhappy with ready availability of the e-book, which outlines quick and easy ways to commit suicide.
