Australian scientist and right-to-die advocate David Goodall chose to end his life with a lethal injection on Thursday. Goodall was not terminally ill, but his health had deteriorated badly in recent years, according to The New York Times. Assisted dying is banned in Australia, where the British-born Goodall lived for the last part of his life. However, there are some changes in the works ― last fall, the state of Victoria became the first in the country to legalize assisted dying in specific cases. Goodall is an advocate for medically assisted death for the elderly.
