The extraordinary life of Australia’s most controversial doctor

This is the revealing, personal story of the man behind the controversial pro-euthanasia movement, told in his own words. Medical doctor, humanist, author and founder/director of Exit International, Philip Nitschke’s life has always been in the spotlight.

The book spans Philip’s early days, from his curious, activist student days in Adelaide, to working with Aboriginal land rights groups in Australia’s Far North; to his successful campaign to have euthanasia legalised in Australia and his assistance in four people ending their lives before the law was overturned.

It covers the controversy surrounding Philip’s work, including the banning in Australia of his international bestselling book The Peaceful Pill, and disturbing reports that many young people overdosed on Nembutal, the drug that Exit International recommends for suicide.

Ultimately, Philip believes that the right to one’s own death is as fundamental as the right to control one’s own life- ‘It seems we demand humans to live with indignity, pain and anguish whereas we are kinder to our pets when their suffering becomes too much.’
