Philip Nitschke was one of the first MAID physicians in the world, helping patients in the Northern Territory of Australia, in 1996, before Oregon's law came into force. But he is now critical of MAID laws. He explains his position in a recent episode of the Dissenter Podcast.
Nitschke's advice: "get the drugs and put them in the cupboard." That way, you have them should you need them. You will not need to later convince several clinicians that you are "worthy," that you are ill enough to qualify under narrow, arbitrary standards codified into MAID laws.
Nitschke's Peacefull Pill handbook offers "good information" on suicide. And the Sarco permits inert gas asphyxiation without all the clutter and ugliness of nitrogen canisters, valves, tubing, and a hood over the head. You're unconscious after two deep breathes and dead in five minutes.
