About this title

About the Author:

Dr Philip Nitschke, PhD MD, is the Founder of Exit International. In 1996, Dr Nitschke became the first physician in the world to administer voluntary euthanasia via a legal, lethal voluntary injection under Australia's short-lived Rights of the Terminally Ill Act. Four of Philip's terminally ill patients used this law to end their suffering before the law was overturned 9 months later by the Australian Parliament. Philip was awarded his PhD in applied physics from Flinders University in 1972. Philip graduated from Sydney Medical School in 1988. Philip lives in the Netherlands.
