Kicker: Myelitis patient, seeking a dignified exit from pain, challenges local laws criminalizing assisted suicide [1] While South Korea criminalizes any form of assisted dying, at least 204 South Koreans, as of April 2023, have obtained membership for assisted dying facilities in Switzerland; Dignitas had 136 Korean members, Exit International had 55 and Lifecircle had 13, according to a report from local newspaper Seoul Shinmun. At least 10 Koreans so far have made the final journey to Switzerland to die at such clinics, the report said. * criminalize 범인 취급하다, 불법화하다 * obtain 취득하다, 획득하다 [2] Kim Young-in, who has been living with complex regional pain syndrome since 2013, joined Dignitas in 2020. “Securing Dignitas's approval (for the assisted dying process) brought me peace,” he said. “What I feared was not death, but the endless pain. Knowing I have the option to end this pain, even as soon as tomorrow, grants me the ability to live today in peace." * complex regional pain syndrome 복합부위통증증후군 * grant 승인[허락]하다 [3] There, a pressing question arises: Should Korea grant the same choice to myelitis patient Lee, and other people who are in great pain or are terminally ill? * pressing 긴급한, 거절[무시]하기 힘든 * terminally 말기의, 불치의 [4] For South Korea to find an answer, the conversation is only just beginning according to Park Joong-cheol, a family medicine and hospice doctor at Incheon St. Mary's Hospital and author of “I Want a Kind Death.” “In Korea, there has been hardly any social discussion on these matters,” he pointed out. * conversation 대화, 논의 기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240218050080   [코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독] 아이튠즈(아이폰):https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2 네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404 팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638 위 팟캐스트 에피소드에는 스포티파이의 후원광고를 포함하고 있습니다. 지금 바로 스포티파이 포 팟캐스터에서 팟캐스트를 만들어보세요! http://podcasters.spotify.com

Episode 36 features Tom Curran, a director of Exit International, a non-profit voluntary dying organisation. Tom fought alongside his wife Marie for her right to end her life on her terms and not on the timeline set by her worsening progressive MS. Tom and Marie took their battle to the highest courts in Ireland and although they lost, they nevertheless brought national attention to a too-often shied away from conversation. Since Marie's death, Tom has been a right-to-die and drug policy reform activist.

Marie had struggled to manage the excruciating muscle spasms commonly experienced in MS, and when she finally tried cannabis, it was the only thing that brought her relief.At the time, both Tom and Marie were known in Ireland for their battle to change in the law on assisted dying, and it was after Marie's death that Tom publicly spoke about growing Marie's cannabis medicine.Tom is founding member of the Irish Medicinal Cannabis Council and is director of Exit International, an organisation that campaigns for and provides information about assisted dying.

Exit first met Tom Curran in 2008 when he attended our initial Irish workshop at the Seomra Spraoi anarchist collective in Dublin (because no other booked venue would host the public meeting and workshop): such was the controversy surrounding assisted suicide/ assisted dying in Ireland. Fast forward a decade, and Tom has become the legitimate face of the Irish right to die movement. A director of Exit International, Tom's commitment stems from the experience of his late partner, Marie Flemming who died in 2013 after suffering for many years from MS. In recent weeks, the Irish Parliament has voted to progress a Dying with Dignity Bill concerning assisted suicide to the committee stage. Listen to Tom's journey over the past decade and his instrumental role in pushing for a law for people with a 'life-limiting' condition.

Episode 1 has arrived! I chat with Sam Dabb, the venue manager of Le Pub.

Scott Lee Andrews is an artist and songwriter from Wales who has released and performed music as Exit_International, Mutation and Jaws of Deaf. We talk about growing up in a small town and finding the heroes in the alternative music culture with its big characters and musical and visual inspirations, Scott’s decision to study music production instead of pursuing going to Oxford, creating work that subverts mundane reality and pushes buttons, his growing appreciation for the fundamental power of art and music to connect with and move people, and how attention from BBC Introducing put Exit_International’s song about a petrol powered dildo on to the Radio 1 playlist.

While most of us respect that the terminally ill or very old might want to exercise their right to die, not many have come around on the idea that any adult with mental capacity should have the right to end their life on their own terms. Philip Nitschke joins me to explain why Exit International provides information and works to move legislation past a medicalized model to bring this crucial right to more people. In this episode, we discuss: Societal taboos around this topic The interest by the general public in understanding this right What are the new trends in this area Why people who want to exercise this right need a plan in place What a SARCO pod is And much more...

Recorded live on the CCIM 2019 stage, this episode features the conversation between CCIM Chief of Pod, Andrew Bracey and Dr Philip Nitschke that kicked off Day 2 of the event. Philip Nitschke is a passionate activist, author, former physician and founder and director of the pro-euthanasia group Exit International. He campaigned successfully to have a legal euthanasia law passed in the Northern Territory and assisted four people in ending their lives before the law was overturned. He was the first doctor in the world to administer a legal, voluntary, lethal injection, after which the patient activated the syringe using a computer. In 2015, Philip burned his medical practising certificate in response to what he saw as onerous conditions that violated his right to free speech, imposed on him by the Medical Board of Australia. This conversation focuses less on Philip's belief around an individual's right to die and more in depth at an interesting medical career that went against the largest governing bodies. It delves into the drivers and barriers to follow a passion or standing by your convictions.

Philip Nitschke became a household name in the 90s when he became the first doctor in the world to administer a legal, lethal voluntary injection to a patient under the short-lived "Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995". Within a year the law was overturned and Philip went on to commence his campaigning for assisted dying, not only for the terminally ill but for those of sound mind to make their own decisions of when to end their life. Exit International (Previously known as the Voluntary Euthanasia Research Foundation) was founded by Philip and their vision states "every adult of sound mind has the right to implement plans for the end of their life so that their death is reliable, peaceful and at the time of their choosing". Due to the sensitivity of the topic, Philip and the organisation have received heavy criticism over the years often coming face to face with not only government legislative obstacles but also religious organisations and sections of the media. I remember Philip Nitschke as 'Dr. Death' - A name that he was labelled with through the media and while I didn't know a lot about the topic as a child, I certainly do recall the intensity of the issue and the dark lens that was placed over him and Voluntary Euthanasia. Death is often placed in a negative light and something to be feared of. Of course this meant for me that Dr Death was a bit of a fearful character that was portrayed to me in those earlier years. More recently I was reintroduced to Philip through Dr David Goodall, the 104 year old Botanist and Ecologist who made the decision to end his life. Unfortunately because of the current laws in Australia, Dr Goodall had to travel to Switzerland to have his wishes granted on 10 May 2018. The story became world news and with Philip helping Dr Goodall fast track his application in Switzerland, he and the topic came back into spotlight once again. Given the recent media attention and keeping in theme of having a wide variety of guests and discussions on The Andy Social Podcast, I knew that I had to get in touch with Philip. Thankfully he agreed and he is now one of the many fascinating guests who I've had the pleasure to speak with candidly. Philip and I spoke about the recent David Goodall story, we reflected on his time in the Northern Territory when the world had their eyes on Australia's (at the time) progressive actions. We also spoke about the stigma and challenges surrounding the word 'suicide', the battles he has had with the medical board in Australia, stories from some of the individuals who Philip has come into contact with over the years and much more. The subject is complicated and often blurred by subjective and emotional opinions. While I sometimes think that some of Philip's approaches and statements over the years have been shocking on the surface, it has challenged the way that I view life and our rights as individuals. Like many of us, we have experienced and had contact with people in our lives who have suffered and lived a quality of life that is unacceptable. Providing people with an option to make a rational decision at a certain stage of their lives gives individuals dignity and control over how they would like their last moments to be. Wherever your opinions may sit, I hope this sparks some thought and discussion amongst your friends and family. Quite possibly its time to take a different view on how we portray death and the freedoms that people may require in later stages of life.

We're always told that we can't control when we'll die. But what if we could? When her grandmother passed away, Ellen expected the grief, the mourning, the emptiness. She didn't expect the police. She didn't expect the media. She didn't expect INTERPOL.  Contact Mic returns with an episode about breaking the rules, about deciding how to live your life, and how to end it.

Our guest on this episode is Dr. Philip Nitschke is the Founder of Exit International. In 1996, Philip became the first doctor in the world to administer a legal, lethal voluntary injection under the short-lived Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 (NT). Four of Philip’s terminally ill patients used this law to end their suffering before the law was overturned in March 1997 by the Australian Parliament. That same year, Philip formed the Voluntary Euthanasia Research foundation (now called Exit International). Ongoing pressure from the Australian Medical Board led him to hand in his medical registration in 2015, and he now works full time developing end of life options for the sick and elderly and publishing details through his on-line Peaceful Pill Handbook. Philip's autobiography entitled Damned If I Do was published by Melbourne University Press in 2013. The website for Exit International is www.exitinternational.net

Again, apologies for the delay, everyone. It's been a while, but I'm back with a doozy of an episode.   Philip “Dr. Death” Nitschke has been the face of the controversial right-to-die debate in Australia for almost 20 years. He is the founder and director of the pro-euthanasia group Exit International and author of The Peaceful Pill Handbook – a book describing ways to commit suicide that has been banned in Australia. I’ve always been fascinated by Philip’s arguments and his tenacity in presenting them. When I heard he was performing a one-man comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival about his life and various suicide techniques, I had to find out more and jumped at the chance to sit down with him. Here Philip explains how he came to be performing this show, how he got involved in the euthanasia debate to begin with, his personal approach to death, his response to all the objections, censorship, the failings of modern medicine, “rational suicide”, what it’s like to help someone die and where he sees the debate going next.

Many people are familiar with cases involving terminally ill patients who believe that they should have the right to die. But what about making this a right for everyone - even if they are fit and healthy? Zeinab Badawi speaks to the controversial Australian Dr Philip Nitschke who believes anyone over 50 should be able to plan an end to their own life. But is he not just encouraging acts of suicide?(Photo: Dr Philip Nitschke. Credit: David Mariuz/Getty Images)
