The question at the heart of an illegal euthanasia scheme is one Queensland can’t answer

The discovery of the illegal substance led to a “large -scale and complex öygulan investigation, a business that sells drugs to help end their lives.

On Monday, three Gold Coast residents-53-year-old Brett Daniel Taylor, 80-year-old father Ian Taylor and 81, 81-Bedford’s suicide and accused of dangerous drug trafficking. The police believe that the trio can be connected with 20 suicides throughout Australia.

The authorities claim that Brett Taylor, the main theme of the business, aims to “benefit from them in their most desperate moments”.

“We will claim it [Taylor] He did not act with compassion – this is a commercial process for him. ”

However, the same characterization was not so easy for the 81-year-old Southport woman Elaine Arch-Lowe, who said that the police act as the secretary of Taylor.

When Arch-Soure appeared on Tuesday from the Southport Magistrate Court, white-haired and tightly, the court applied a legal, deadly voluntary injection. He had heard that Philip Nitschke was a supporter of Dr. Philip Nitschke, the world’s first doctor and the world’s first doctor.

Nitschke said he met Arch-Sowe when he joined a campaign more than 20 years ago. 69 -year -old Gold Coast Cancer Victim Nancy Crick finish his own life.

“He was a strong supporter of Nancy’s decision to take this step and tried to attract attention [to her cause]Nit Nitschke said.

Nitschke described Arch-Sowe as having “strong beliefs ve about a person’s right to end his lives, and the output was volunteer for the Gold Coast Branch for years and helped to organize workshops for the group’s national tours.

The output workshops are mostly attended by the elderly people at the age of 75 – “People who have been going on for a long time to know that everyone’s death is not as peaceful and easy as they want,” he said.

People like Bedford, who was remembered by Nitschke, also joined. “[David] He spoke over and over again about his desire to have tools he can end his life [but as] A quantibian would not be considered appropriate for the Queensland law. “

Nitschke has been defending voluntary euthanasia since the 90s and clearly discussing the methods of welding end -of -life drugs and products in his workshops.

The line between this and the operation of Gold Coast Trio seems to be a big service fee and the operating is between 2950 and $ 3600 for the “End of Life Packages”.

Nitschke, “There have been entrepreneurs in this area for a long time,” he said. “This is a big scam market.”

Nitschke does not believe that money is the motivation of Arch-Rowe. “I knew Elaine met someone she was in love with, but I never met her [Taylor]”He said.

“I think [the operation was] It was built for financial reasons [but] I am much more sorry for Elaine, who has a really strong feeling for the people he meets, and they often find themselves. “

In order to access the valley in Queensland, adults should have been diagnosed with advanced illness, disease or medical condition that will cause death within 12 months. It should also be evaluated by two doctors and make three different requests to access the scheme.

International Exit Internation is the belief that each adult has the right to make plans to end their lives, regardless of their physical health.

Nitschke, “If you have a mental capacity and not a child, I can say that you have the right to overcome yourself for this valuable life gift,” he said.

Queensland’s valley legislation, including the conformity criteria, will be reviewed next year.

Ben White, who is a professor in life law and regulation in Qut, does not believe in the political climate in Queensland or Australia, and matures to expand the criteria.

“Australia took a very narrow approach to the conformity criteria when you look at international models. [but] This was really a political obligation, White said.

“We had 40 attempts before making the Victorian period [voluntary assisted dying] law.

“Politically, the difficulties related to exceeding the law will be valid as whether the criteria of conformity will be expanded.”

Clem Jones Trust, the President of Clem Jones Trust, who plays an important role in the creation and preparation of Queensland’s valley policy framework, believes that there are “painful” and “helpless” people, and that these people should be considered more about whether or not these people receive sufficient support in terms of psychiatric, psychological, painkillers and other support ”.

Mu It is necessary to think if access to Valley needs to be expanded, Mu said Muir.

“There are desperate people outside and what is the best way to handle their pain?

“I certainly didn’t defend them to take things in their own hands, because obviously not legal, but we should ask the question, this is why? And what can be done to deal with it?”

White is not surprised by the continuation of illegal activities in the field of voluntary supported death, but he called on people to remember why legislation exists.

Biri One of the powerful aspects of the voluntary -supported dying system we have is that meticulous conformity criteria should be evaluated by two educated and specially qualified doctors, ”he said.

“These conformity criteria involve the person’s decision-making capacity-this is really their choice.”

It took decades to reduce the conservative roots of Australia enough to allow voluntary -backed laws to be brought to the introduction of dying laws. The expansion of these laws may be for decades – if so.

For people caught in the gray region between autonomy and law, pain and peace, it depends on who asks the answer to questions about an honorable life and an unreliable death.

Nitschke, “I have been experiencing fatal drugs in the cupboard for the last 20 years,” he said.

“I don’t want to go to the closet and kill myself because I can only access drugs … [but I have] The feeling that I am under control. “
