PROFESSOR DAVID FLINT AO

“Dr Fleming does not limit his book to a study of the practice of mercy-killing, as euthanasia was once called. (That had to be changed no doubt because it draws too much attention to the fact that it is about killing, pure and simple.)
Rather, he sets its success as part of the decline in the once universal acceptance in the West of our Judeo-Christian values. This began in the aftermath of the First World War when Western civiliszation was itself challenged by the rise of communism and Nazism. Even with the victory in the Second World War, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the conversion of Communist China into a fascist corporate state, those values were never again to enjoy widespread acceptance.”
Professor David Flint, emeritus professor of Law. He has served as Chairman of the Australian Press Council and of the Australian Broadcasting Authority and was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1995.
