DUBLIN, Dec 18 (LSN) – Paddy Leahy, Ireland’s foremost euthanasia enthusiast, told reporters on Wednesday that he has gone to Thailand to find someone to help him die. The 80-year-old general practitioner, who has also campaigned for contraceptives and abortion in the predominantly Roman Catholic nation, made a last pathetic plea for legalizing euthanasia saying, “I think that the doctors there will look after me. If I get obstructed, I think they will come in and say I’ll put you out of pain. I’ll leave it to them. That would be a much nicer way.”
