Product Description

From the Author
Hastened death requires careful planning
'Final Exit' contains information about which are the best drugs to use in both self-deliverance and assisted suicide to escape a terminal illness at the end. They are prescription drugs because only these are reliably lethal. Such a release from terminal suffering requires careful advance planning. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clear, simple, but very limited information., 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Final Exit: The Practicalities of Self-deliverance and Assisted Suicide (Paperback)
"Final Exit" has strengths and weaknesses as a how-to book (this is not a review of its philosophy). The writing is clear, simple, and compassionate. However, its useful information is limited to drug overdose and plastic bag asphyxia. A much more wide rangeing, thorough, and interesting book on the same subject is Geo Stone's "Suicide and Attempted Suicide: Methods and Consequences." I would suggest reading both of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Compassionate, caring style, but inadequate information, 28 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Final Exit: Practicalities of Self-deliverance and Assisted Suicide for the Dying (Hardcover)
This was a pioneering book when it was first published. It still has the merits of unmatched simplicity and clarity, but there is a MUCH more comprehensive (if harder to read) book on the same subject, "Suicide and Attempted Suicide: Methods and Consequences" by Geo Stone. I recommend both---they're surprisingly different---but if I were interested in anything other than plastic bag asphyxia (and even here Stone's book is more informative), Stone's would be my first choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, 17 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Final Exit: The Practicalities of Self-deliverance and Assisted Suicide (Paperback)
I was given this book by someone who knew how ill I am and that I want to stop. It was compltely useless, as the only method it explains and recommends depends on being able to obtain large quantities of strong prescription drugs,which is impossible for most people, especially if one is already too ill to go out anywhere. There are also chapters about prepartion, leaving notes, considering the effects on other people, but that was all very obvious and somewhat superfluous.
