Authors

The authors of the Peaceful Pill Handbook – Essentials Edition are Dr Philip Nitschke (physicist & doctor) & Dr Fiona Stewart (sociologist & lawyer).

Drs Nitschke and Stewart met during the Festival of Ideas at the Brisbane Powerhouse in Australia in August 2001.

They both took part in the debate that was chaired by Phillip Adams and which aired on ABC RN’s Late Night Live titled ‘there’s no such thing as a new idea’.

For more than two decades, Nitschke and Stewart have worked successfully as colleagues and collaborators.

The authors of the Peaceful Pill Handbook – Essentials Edition believe that ‘Euthanasia’ – a good death – is the fundamental human right of every rational adult.

The authors live on a houseboat (woonboot) near Haarlem in the Netherlands.
