The AAP then quotes Margaret Tighe from the Australian Right to Life Association “dimissing the argument”.

Tighe believes Nitchske “is a very dangerous person” and that “his activities should be stopped.”

The e-book, which promises monthly updates, features a so-called “unique Reliability and Peacefulness Test” to “rank different approaches, ensuring that you can make the best decision for your situation.”

Chapters in the book explain different drugs, carbon monoxide, DIY peaceful pills, the Swiss Option, amongst other chapters, and even goes so far as to tell you what will happen “after it’s over”, in terms of coroners, inquests and police investigations.

The book promises its “focus serves not only to prevent unnecessary and unwanted mistakes and harm, but upholds people's right to make informed choices in this most sensitive issue.

“To ensure that readers know fully where they stand and that responsibility for actions can be taken, The Peaceful Pill eHandbook also provides a thorough outline of the legal aspects of various approaches.

“The over-arching paradigm of the book is to ensure the seriously ill and the elderly maintain their respect, dignity and sense of control.”

The battle over the rights and wrongs over euthanasia clearly won’t die anytime soon.
