Euthanasia doctor demonstrates lethal injection machine

EUTHANASIA advocate Dr Philip Nitschke demonstrated his latest ‘deliverance machine’ — a device which will be able to deliver a lethal injection in the blink of an eye.

Dr Nitschke invented the original machine that was used by four terminally ill people in the 1990s when euthanasia was briefly legalised in Australia’s Northern Territory.

His group, Exit International, provides information on assisted suicide and campaigns for the right of people to make informed decisions about when and how they will die.
