Exit International claims there will be a number of direct consequences that will flow from the release of the NZ Parliamentary Health Select Committee review into euthanasia and assisted suicide. The report fails to make any recommendations that would lead to a change in the Crimes Act that would allow any legal assistance to suicide, and as such will have the direct effect of encouraging New Zealander\u2019s to seek their own DIY end of life options.<\/p>\n
Speaking from Amsterdam, Exit Director Dr Philip Nitschke said that the report\u2019s findings had disappointed many of his members who agreed with Maryan Street\u2019s comments that the report was \u2018cowardly and disappointing\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat it does make clear though, is that New Zealanders have to look after themselves if they want to effect any real end of life choice\u201d<\/p>\n
Exit International seeks to ensure that NZ members do have the ability to reliably and peacefully end their lives when they choose by getting access to the best information and also the methods that enable this choice.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite that actions of the NZ police, and \u2018Operation Painter\u2019 targeting Exit and those who seek to get their own euthanasia drugs, our members continue to take this course, and the failure of the parliamentary report will further encourage this practice.<\/p>\n
Dr Nitschke is about to start a six week tour of Australia running \u201cEuthanasia & Suicide for Dummies\u201d Workshops in all Australian states.<\/p>\n
Plans are in place to run this same workshop series in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in Feb 2018.
