Our college of psychiatrists has had similar concerns. What is fascinating is that listening to both Dr. Mewett and Dr. Nitschke is that they seem to have radically different views, in that for Dr. Nitschke it is about taking it out of medicine and it based on the idea that a person should not have to have a reason or have to meet any test. Dr. Mewett is saying that is an outlier. Does he think what is going on in Switzerland is an outrage? Is he philosophically opposed to the extension of choice to people who might not be terminally ill? He is making the point that Switzerland is unusual, but he is not necessarily opposed to a more libertarian regime, is he?
