Elderly learn to beat euthanasia blacklist

Pamela Lazemby, 82, has beaten cancer: she has no fear of learning how to beat the law. ''Now I'm on borrowed time I can afford to live dangerously,'' she said after attending the first in a series of workshops teaching people how to circumvent a proposed law restricting access to some internet sites, expected to include some on euthanasia.

Websites associated with Exit International and its suicide manual, the Peaceful Pill Handbook, are expected to be refused classification and therefore to be inaccessible from Australian computers once a mandatory internet filter is in place. Ms Lazemby has nursed four elderly people to death and is determined she will not end up in a nursing home. Sidney Morning Herald
