Are the exit bags still available to buy?
Last Rights Publications in Canada ceased in 2004 due to police harassment. Usually people who send there usually get their money back — eventually. This source below has been found to be a reliable replacement :-
People can choose to send $50 US in check, cash or money order to this address and get a complete exit bag kit to:
Nu Life Products
P O Box 1546
Lolo, MT 59847, U S A
The kit cannot be ordered by telephone or internet. Reports confirm that the orders are dealt with promptly.
Derek- Thank you for distributing the newsletter… vol.12/274 was informative and lots of work. Congratulations on being on Amazons top 6000, and I hope such an exalted status is also handsomely rewarded!
I went to this website because your email address did not pop up in my Outlook right away, so I read the description of PAD phrases for the first time. I have been told that using the word “suicide” lessens the favorable reaction to a physician assisted suicide proposal by 17%, so I have opted in favor of Tom Preston’s patient directed dying. I wanted to point out to you that this phrase implies to me that there is a doctor involved somewhere in the process because of the word “patient.” Don’t you think so? And if my perception is right, then placing it in the category of those phrases describing patients who want to do it themselves would not be accurate, right? Since there seems to be some serious planning going on right now (I am not part of it) for a new WA effort, this distinction could be important.
Have a Merry and Happy, thanks again for your sharing, Bruce
