Australia: seeks to open assisted suicide clinic in "City of Churches"


EUTHANASIA advocate Philip Nitschke expects to open an assisted death clinic in Adelaide within a month. 

He feels like he has widespread public opinion approval despite the newspaper poll that shows 64%- to 34% opposed  to his idea. He openly admits that it takes time for people to get used to the idea and agrees with proposed changes that alleviates anxieties. For instance, this will not be a fly in AS suicide clinic but have some resident requirements. I wonder how lose they will be because the customer base would have to come from other cities or countries. I wonder if there are enough cases in Adelaide which ironically is known as the "City of  the Churches"  to make this clinic profitable.  Hmmm speaking of City of the Churches, I wonder where are the church leaders on this subject. Advocates claim that only those who areterminally ill and with no way to relieve their pain would be candidates But one reader points out that with the advances in palliative care there is no need for Assisted Suicide.  Another  reader opines;
"We have the example of Holland and Belgium where non-terminally ill patients have been put down involuntarily. There are no absolute safeguards in euthanasia."
