Certain strains of the euthanasia-advocacy movement believe doctors don’t need to be involved when someone wants to die. For example, the fanatics of Final Exit Network have taught people how to kill themselves, with a couple convicted of assisting via helium.
More infamously, Dr. Philip Nitschke of Australia, who has travelled the world teaching suicide courses, once told NRO’s Kathryn Jean Lopez that he thought “troubled teens” should have access to “suicide pills,” which, he opined, should be sold in supermarkets. He even conjured a suicide pod by which people can make themselves dead using nitrogen.
