Mon 03 Mar 2010Assisted suicide meeting
CONTROVERSIAL Australian assisted suicide advocate Philip Nitschke is planning to hold his first public meeting and workshop in Dublin later this month.
Dr Nitschke’s group, Exit International, provoked uproar in Britain when it tried to hold such meetings and some were cancelled. He said he was coming to Ireland because, over the years, Exit had received “significant interest” from older people in Ireland wanting information about their end-of-life choices. The meeting is set for March 19th.
