Killing Me Softly: Voluntary Euthanasia & the Road to the Peaceful Pill

Killing Me Softly is Dr Philip Nitschke's first book & explores the philosophical/ political background to this physician's unique approach to the end of life choices debate. Including the only published personal biography, Killing Me Softly goes behind the headlines to show what makes this man tick. For anyone interested in understanding the political machinations of the right to die movement, Killing Me Softly offers an important critical analysis of the way in which the Church, the medical profession & the law collude to frame & regulate the end of life choices of ordinary individuals. This book informs & explains Dr Nitschke's second book - The Peaceful Pill eHandbook (which is banned in his home country of Australia) - & why his DIY death philosophy has proven so controversial, even to those on the pro-choice side of the politics.
