Philip Haig Nitschke is an Australian humanist, author, former physician, and founder and director of the pro-euthanasia group Exit International.
Website: https://www.exitinternational.net/about-exit/dr-philip-nitschke/
Summary:
In this interview, we discuss why Dr. Nitschke is supportive of assisted suicide. Essentially, he believes suicide is every rational person's right. Nitschke is so supportive of suicide that he invented a suicide pod that people can 3D print. We also discuss hard cases—euthanasia in the case of infants, people with advanced dementia, and psychiatric patients. Interestingly, Nitschke is more supportive of assisted suicide than euthanasia because he thinks patients should take responsibility for their own decision to die.
