DIY suicide thread by wagglebee...

Canberra, Australia (LifeNews.com) -- An Australia lawmaker made good on her promise to deliver a speech with explicit instruction on how disabled or elderly patients can kill themselves. The speech was designed to get around an Australian law that prohibits disseminating assisted suicide or euthanasia instructions over the Internet or phone.

Because South Australian Democrat Sandra Kanck is protected by legislative privileges, her speech can be posted online, including on the legislature's web site.

On the same topic of DIY in Australia, thanks Coleus...

SOUTH Australia's Parliament has voted to block the internet version of a speech from Australian Democrats MP Sandra Kanck which detailed ways to commit suicide.

The Government last night presented a motion to Parliament's upper house which called for Ms Kanck's comments not to be displayed on Parliament's website.

If this Kanck woman got up and demonstrated her suicide skills with a Jonestown cocktail or something, one could believe her methods and her sincerity. But she's one of those infuriating liberal hypocrites who tell everyone else what to do but will not do it herself. She should crawl back under her rotten log.
