An interview with Philip Nitschke. (Devine).(Interview)
WHILE DISAGREEING with everything the euthanasia evangelist Dr Philip Nitschke says, would I fight to the death for his right to say it? Certainly not. Paradox makes my joints ache.
On the other hand, I am disconcerted by the way Dr Nitschke is developing into a kind of Scarlet Pimpernel, lobbying for assisted suicide here, promoting plastic bags for knocking oneself off there, a man of more mystery than reality justifies. One should maintain a clear view of somebody one disagrees with. Hence this edited (for length only) transcript of a conversation with Dr Nitschke.
Could we start with some autobiographical notes? Are you married, for instance?
