|  Subject: Euthanasia book to go on internet  Wed 2 Apr - 18:05 | |
| THE outlawed euthanasia manual The Peaceful Pill Handbook will soon be available for download on the internet.
Co-author and euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke made a deal with Google Books in the US last week. He said the download version, illegal in Australia, would cost about $37.
Dr Nitschke said The Peaceful Pill Handbook had been a steady seller on Amazon.com, often ranking in the top 1000 books in a pool of 2 million but Australian customers ran the risk of customs confiscating it.
"The download version will be illegal but people will take that risk because they feel they won't be tracked down," Dr Nitschke said.
"We've heard there has been some trouble with buying it on Amazon . . . from people not receiving books. We suspect they've been intercepted or something's gone wrong."
The handbook was banned in Australia last month, partly as it instructs on travelling to Mexico to obtain veterinary tranquilliser Nembutal. |
