Bob Dent

Bob Dent

Bob Dent (1930 - 22 September 1996) was an Australian cancer sufferer who became the world's first person to lawfully end his life by means of euthanasia. This was under the Northern Territory's short-lived "Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995".

Dent died peacefully on 22 September 1996 with help from Dr Philip Nitschke. [cite web |url=http://www.worldrtd.net/faqs/factsheets/?id=164 |title= Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in Australia |accessdate=2008-03-23 |format= |work=The World Federation of Right to Die Societies ]
