Nitschke wins right to use euthanasia drug

Nitschke wins right to use euthanasia drug | Adelaide Now: Right-to-die campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke has gained permission to import a drug used in voluntary euthanasia. He will provide the drug Nembutal to a Victor Harbor woman who wants to die. "The drugs will be provided to her with clear instructions, he said. "They are to help her sleep. If she breaches those instructions she will be aware there are significant dangers. The patient will also have to sign a statutory notification that she is aware of the risks associated with taking more than one tablet a night to help her sleep."
