FINAL EXIT 2020 (4th edition)
Self-deliverance and assisted dying for the terminally and hopelessly ill (digital eBook edition)
By Derek Humphry
This new version of the famous guide Final Exit has been called a suicide handbook, yet careful readers will find that it is powerfully addressed to terminally and hopelessly ill adults who have fought for life and no longer wish to suffer.
It is the thinking persons bible to self-deliverance and assisted dying to achieve a peaceful end within the family when pain has become unbearable
When first published in l991 it was a best-seller on the New York Times book list for 18 weeks. Now it is updated as an eBook for 2020 for end of life choices. This 4th edition encapsulates all that we’ve learned since the 1st edition, including the methods of self-deliverance using inert gas and newer drugs, amply illustrated. (The original kit document is not necessary, thus removed.)
Death with dignity requires more than knowledge for drugs and inert gases; thus this book outlnes family involvement, the laws on helping another to die, insurance, hospice and Advance Directives (aka Living Wills). Death by self-starvation (VSED) is discussed as an option for personal euthanasia.
Hemlock Society
Derek Humphry is an award-winner author (Martin Luther King Memorial Prize) who in l975 helped his first wife suffering advanced cancer to die at her choosing. He wrote about this in his classic book Jean’s Way. Later he formed the Hemlock Society (1980-2003) to modernize laws and attitudes concerning end of life choices.
Final Exit argues that there is no need for a ‘Dr.Death’ such as Jack Kevorkian was, because personal, thoughtful final options are now available . Read this book to find out how. Download and save to your computer.
