An Australian doctor risks prosecution for giving a patient advice on euthanasia
“A MELBOURNE doctor risks prosecution after confessing he has helped a terminally ill man who wants to die.

Voluntary euthanasia activist Rodney Syme yesterday revealed he had supplied information to Steve Guest, a former state government media adviser, who has appealed for the right to die with dignity.

Mr Guest, who has inoperable cancer of the oesophagus, was interviewed in The Weekend Australian and has been heard on Melbourne’s ABC radio begging for a compassionate release from his suffering. Dr Syme visited Mr Guest in his Point Lonsdale home this week.”
