ELDERLY couples are buying each other suicide kits as Christmas presents, says controversial euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke.

Speaking at Tweed Heads yesterday on a new “peaceful pill” suicide method being developed overseas, Dr Nitschke’s comments sent right-to-life campaigners and church groups into a frenzy.

This article will bring more debate which is a good thing. I have had reports of Americian Boomers buying the pill already and they are only 63 so it is not only the elderly.

Such a personal issue this one. It is never going to be easy to die as we want to stay as long as possible but it is inevitable. I hope we all get to do it without pain.

What do you think about a pill?
