An appalling "doctor"

Euthanasia advocate Philip Nitschke criticised over support for 45-year-old who committed suicide - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

There's no way this guy should continue to be allowed to be a doctor.  His attitude has always been to presume that everyone who wants to commit suicide, no matter what the age, and the reason why, is acting rationally and reasonably and who is he to stop them?  In fact, he'll tell them how to do it the easiest way possible.

He came over as a complete and utter jerk on the ABC interview last night.  The interviewer was calm and forensic; the only question I would have liked to hear was "when was the last time - if you ever have - you declined to advise someone who has asked you how best to commit suicide, or recommended they get properly assessed and treated for possible depression?"

He is a disgrace. allowing some who is depressed to commit suicide is unbelievable.
