‘A book that advances the debate on dying painlessly and with dignity is welcome – particularly at this time.’ – Janet Holmes a Court
‘Should people be able to learn how to end their own lives? Philip Nitschke makes a powerful and moving case for individual choice in this debate.’ – Peter Singer
Killing Me Softly: Voluntary Euthanasia and the Road to the Peaceful Pill Dr Philip Nitschke & Dr Fiona Stewart
Killing Me Softly is a radical and compelling examination of the current euthanasia debate.
Frustrated by continuing controversy and political inaction in this area, prominent activists Philip Nitschke and Fiona Stewart present a powerful argument in favour of our right to die as we choose. Their concerns include the way in which the medical profession has assumed ‘ownership’ of death, and the fact that existing laws restrict our end-of-life choices. They offer a future where a ‘Peaceful Pill’ could revolutionise euthanasia just as the contraceptive pill transformed birth control a generation ago.
This book is recommended reading, not just for those who already believe we have the right to choose a dignified death but also for anyone still to be persuaded.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Dr Philip Nitschke is the world’s leading authority on voluntary euthanasia, being the first doctor in the world to legally administer VE. Philip gained a PhD in laser physics from Flinders University before going bush to work with land rights activist Vincent Lingiari. It was not until his mid 30s and after an accident to his foot that Philip attended Sydney University Medical School. He is now Director of Exit International.
Dr Fiona Stewart is a public health sociologist who has worked as an academic, newspaper opinion writer and consultant. She became involved in the euthanasia debate after meeting Philip Nitschke at Brisbane’s Festival of Ideas in 2001.
