Controversial doctor to hold seminar in Dublin

Controversial doctor to hold seminar in Dublin

A controversial doctor from Australia is set to hold a meeting in Dublin where people will discuss ways to end their lives.

Dr. Philip Nitschke, who runs an organisation called Exit International, has already faced difficulties in finding a venue for his meeting. Two locations have already cancelled his bookings, with Dr. Nitschke claiming that one of the venues had faced “strong-arm pressure from the Catholic Church”.

However, a third location has been found for the event.

On Monday, Dr. Nitschke held a ‘Euthanasia Workshop’ in central London. Exit International say 100 people attended the event.

The meeting planned for Dublin on Friday afternoon will be Dr. Nitschke’s first event in Ireland.

For further details see Exit International’s  website.
