Description

This is probably the most compendious authority on the subject in print. With 844 pages (no glossy fillers) it is aimed squarely at the reader seeking a detailed, educated answer on such an important subject, should such a need arise at a future time. The book is explicit, but not a campaign tool. Conclusions are based on evidence, not anecdotes, and a few are contrary to those of a one or two prominent 'right-to-die' 'experts', internet advisers or outright abolitionists. The multi-disciplinary approach has drawn expertise from law, medicine and ethics and has been the history of its research organisation since its first research-based books, Departing Drugs and Beyond Final Exit in 1995. No method of self-euthanasia can be perfect, in spite of what some claim. If you are tired of unsupported reassurances it is for you. What this book does is give you the best knowledge and advice available, supported with the scientific references. Where serious academically supported challenges have been mounted to the contents, they are been answered in full (see the chapter on responses to criticism). . ***104 pages on use of inert gas (nitrogen, helium).*** ***205 pages on drugs.*** ***Hundreds more pages on voluntary refusal of food and liquid*** ***the low-down on 'fringe' methods*** As well as precautions, social, legal and ethical concerns, tips and checklists. **100 illustrations*** and ‘how-to’ diagrams, 7 tables and more than 1000 references. Peer-reviewed evidence and examination of alternative theories. (See the 'look-inside' feature for list of contents, or the publications page of the 'ExitEuthanasia Blog'.) The author holds a post-graduate degree in law and ethics in medicine from a Glasgow University and received an award from the Natural Death Centre for his research on death by refusing food and water. The original work was reviewed by an international team and included doctors, lawyers, Dutch euthanasia doctors, a toxicologist and persons from other fields (such as neurology).
