Dr Death of Australia starts his Suicide Club in London

A ‘suicide club’ set up by Australian doctor Philip Nitschke that provides advice and equipment to help people kill themselves has been set up in Britain dailymail.co.uk. The group believes it is a ‘fundamental right’ for anyone to take their lives when they want to.
Access and membership to the ‘Exit Club’ is restricted to those over 50, who have no history of depression or mental illness. In the case of younger ones, it only lets in younger people if they have a serious pressing reason, such as a terminal illness.
In the opinion of Dr Death, restricting access to suicide method information is ‘censorship’. Exit International is campaigning to legalize euthanasia and has opened a London office to ‘cope with demand’ after its UK membership hit 1,000.
The group reportedly charges a fee from members to access online information and attend workshops to discuss ‘peaceful’ methods of suicide and, has attracted widespread criticism in Australia, where it was originally set up.
Unlike other advocates of assisted dying, Exit does not campaign only on behalf of the terminally ill but it also takes up the cause of older people who are simply ‘tired of life’ and want to kill themselves using drugs or gas, in what it terms ‘rational suicide’.
