Subject: more on Australia law

The previous report from The Age newspaper in Melbourne should obviously
have been dated June 27 (not July 27).

Lynda Cracknell, President of the Northern Territory Voluntary Euthanasia
Society, reports that terminally ill Northern Territory people, and several
she knows who have come from other states, are becoming increasingly
distressed at what appears to be a diminishing probability of seeking
voluntary euthanasia under the law in July. 

She also reports that Dr. Philip Nitschke is finding it increasingly
difficult to locate doctors who will be prepared to give the additional
medical opinions required by the law.
