This would appear to be confirmation again that Philip Nitschke is happy to help a person with no terminal illness commit suicide. They just have to be bored with life, and (if the allegations here are true,) suffering from depression is not enough to deter his involvement.
What a creep.Dr Nitschke told the newspaper it was "arrogant and paternalistic" to review someone else's decision about when to die.
"You're not in her shoes. She obviously made an assessment and decided her life was not worth living any more. You can't simply look at the medical records."
However, he admitted most people found euthanasia more palatable for severely ill patients. "I don't doubt if we had prevented her to have access to do what she did, she would have gone and done it in a far more common way."

The guy creeps me out too Steve.
I don't view him as any less than a murderer, and I don't know how he's avoided charges so far.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
Has he actually killed anyone with a real terminal illness yet?
If I recall rightly, Nancy Krick (name? can't remember) was found not to be ill at all.
Ash, to maximise the creepiness, go look at the Exit video that Tim brings to my attention a couple of posts up.
Nancy turned out not to have any cancer, and she had been told that by her specialist well before she died. She claimed to have constant pain anyway, but to be honest, it always seemed to me she was somewhat neurotic and exaggerating.
