Suicide expert turns on 'Dr Death'

The former chairman of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society, Dr. Michael Irwin, has launched a fierce attack on the Australian voluntary euthanasia campaigner nicknamed "Dr. Death," Philip Nitschke. Dr. Irwin, 77, a retired GP, pulled out of a trip abroad last year with ten people contemplating an assisted suicide when he realised that at least two of them were "totally unsuitable" to make the trip. He has admitted helping several terminally-ill patients to commit suicide. Telegraph
