But the more I talk to him and listen, the more amazed I am at his goodwill towards the world.<\/p>\n
When Sean says he had no choice but to help the three men in South Africa who he would later be found guilty of murdering, he really means it.<\/p>\n
He says he could not walk away.<\/p>\n
The same applies to the help he gave his mum, Dr Patricia Ferguson, who died in New Zealand in 2010.<\/p>\n
Sean went home to spend precious time with Pat before she died.<\/p>\n
She wanted to die at home and went on a hunger strike in the mistaken belief that this would be a reliable and peaceful way to bring an end to her suffering (from cancer). (She did not have the Peaceful Pill Handbook<\/em> which was published in 2006 but banned in NZ in 2008).<\/p>\n However, Pat’s hunger strike failed and it was to Sean that she then turned for help.<\/p>\n Being a dutiful son, he did the right thing.<\/p>\n The only problem was that the right thing was not the lawful thing.<\/p>\n This was the beginning of Sean’s troubles with the law.<\/p>\n This week’s Doxit Podcast<\/strong> provides a roller-coaster ride through Sean’s recent years of right to die activism.<\/p>\n He is an accidental activist for sure, but then who of us is not?<\/p>\n During our interview, there were times when I wanted to shake the man and tell him that the problems of the world were not his to solve.<\/p>\n But he would have none of it.<\/p>\n I can say I got some comfort in his response to my question inquiring if he would do it all again.<\/p>\n He replied ‘my children need a father not a matyr’.<\/p>\n Thank goodness for fatherhood!<\/p>\n You are invited to listen to Sean Davison at Exit International’s Podcast website at Anchor.fm\/doxit<\/a> or wherever you get your podcast streams.<\/strong><\/p>\n
