Australian euthanasia advocate Dr. Philip Nitschke (he of the Laptop of Death
and the
floating euthanasia clinic) has come under attack from religious-right
group Right To Life for his eminently Darwinian idea of
making
suicide pills available to angst-ridden teenagers.
(The Darwinian implications of allowing depression-prone people to easily kill
themselves, though, bear some thinking about; imagine a planet of Shiny Happy
People, the descendents of those genetically predisposed towards contented
apathy.)
