Euthanasia expert to host Irish workshop

EUTHANASIA advocate, Dr Philip Nitschke, who will hold a workshop in Dublin this week said there was already enough Irish interest in his DIY death techniques to make his visit worthwhile.

About 20 people are expected to attend the workshop and the doctor also confirmed that he will be visiting a number of people too sick to attend the group meeting to discuss end of life choices.

Dr Nitschke, who runs Exit International, that informs people how to end their own lives, addressed about 100 people who turned up to hear him speak in London this week.
