At last, we wake up to Dr Death, Philip Nitschke
Herald Sun ^ | July 7, 2014 | Andrew Bolt

EUTHANASIA guru Dr Philip Nitschke is furious the ABC has finally pinged him for actually helping the healthy to kill themselves.

“Attacked by rabid Christians & journalist jackals!” he tweeted last week.

But you don’t need to be rabid or even Christian to consider Nitschke dangerous.

For 20 years Nitschke, founder of Exit International, has had largely positive coverage from a media which too often assumed he’s just helping the dying and the suffering.

Only now does he seem in trouble, with the Black Dog Institute, the Australian Medical Association and beyondblue publicly denouncing him.

This follows the ABC’s revelations last week about Nitschke’s dealings with Nigel Brayley, a healthy 45-year-old Perth man who’d told the doctor he did not have “a terminal medical illness”, yet wanted to commit suicide.

“You will receive my final statement within the next two weeks,” he wrote.

Sure enough, Brayley died after taking Nembutal, which he illegally imported. Nitschke has previously recommended Nembutal as “the best lethal drug” and explained how to get it.

Asked why he didn’t try to talk Brayley out of suicide, Nitschke protested this was not his job.

The U.N. Agenda 21 crowd, who believe that the Earth’s population should be reduced by 85%, should set the example by utilizing “Dr.” Nitschke’s services. The sooner, the better.

You can credit Rush Limbaugh for that. He, along with others, also called him Dr Death.
