Can you get help with euthanasia?

Answer 1

I will be surprised if this answer is posted, nevertheless, I will answer to the best of my ability. Your best bet would be to contact Phillip Nitchki's group Exit International, which has an online presence, to get a good answer to this question.

You would doubtless have heard of this Doctor Who has spent years campaigning for voluntary euthanasia.

I watched a documentary on TV about a year ago, which told the story of a guy who wanted to kill himself, through "legal" channels. He had to go to Mexico and pick up the nembutan (sp?) himself and travel to, probably, The Netherlands with it, I have no idea how he got it through customs. Now this would hardly be possible with any suspicious liquids being withdrawn.

He was provided with a companion who took him to a hotel room, and showed him how to use the nembutan, and left the room, whilst the patient mixed it up, and took it. I cannot remember if the attendant stayed in the room with the patient, until he passed, but after that, I think, the attendant came back and "cleaned up".

At present, in most countries, assisting suicide is not legal, so the law makers and the courts have absolutely no idea of what compassion really is.
