   Hi guys,

   Can anybody tell me if the so called “final exit” kit – the exit bag, helium tanks and pipes – is available in the market? If yes, where and how can i purchase it?

   I am a South African man living in Saudi Arabia.

   Thanks in advance.

   Roche.

   When you find out, do let me know. I seem to have poor luck in locating such devices. Seriously.

   Suicide is a serious offence in Saudi Arabia….perhaps leave the country first before trying to purchase these things and certainly before trying to use them. I hope the best for you or your loved one.

   I called several hardware stores in NYC and they don’t carry T-junctions. I did find one store that has it in metal only. Is that acceptable? Additionally it comes in different sizes: 1/4″, 5/16″, 3/8″, etc. Should I get a 3/8″ to match the 3/8″ inner diameter of the vinyl tubing?

   If one uses the helium gas method with a homemade kit it appears that one would have to have the bag pulled down to the neck with sweatband to keep it secure and the vinyl tubing inserted underneath and into the bag before turning on the helium. Then one would push out the air from the bag and only then turn on the helium tanks. I mention this because your video wasn’t clear on each step to take when using helium with your own handmade kit.

   Thanks,
   Alan

   Thanks,
   Alan

   I think one has to visit the hardware stores in person, not by telephone. All big hardware stores that I’ve visited have plastic T-junctions.

   I believe that we should all be able to choose the manner in which we die if we are lucky enough to provided with such a choice. So many people believe that god has a plan and that only he can decide when you die, that’s crap. I’m happy that I am no longer imprisoned by the thoughts of god. I know that my only time is now. I sincerely hope that my family would be kind enough to me to not keep me around just to make themselves feel better. Life is not that precious that it can be considered “acceptable” under any condition. That is thought normally held by those who have no real hardships. For those people who can choose to live with their pain, disabilities however traumatic, or unpleasant situation that should be there decision alone. No one should make anyone else live a life that they aren’t comfortable with. My we continue to allow families to drain themselves financially and emotionally just to take care of someone who will always be vegetative is beyond me. Yes, some people have woken up and the numbers are grimly small. You always see the article that descibes the moment the woke up but rarely what kind of life they have afterwards. We should not guilt families into any decision especially if it is based on religious thinking. Present people with the medical understanding of their situation and allow them to do the soul searching and invoke whatever spiritual thinking they decide to use. We have so littel control in many areas of our lives. Why can’t we have this bit of control and allow someone to end their own suffering? Why can’t they at least leave on their terms even though there weren’t able to continue living on their terms? We play god in so many other areas of our lives, why should this be different? And if god exists then why do we try so hard to stay here? If there is a higher purpose then do away with medicine altogether and let the chips fall where they may. But we don’t because I believe deep down everyone knows this is all we have. So I say again to the religious – stay out of everyone else’s business. PLEASE.

   What you have come across on the web are individual accounts which may not be true. (Or may be deliberate, malicious put-offs.) Carefully carried out with the instructions in the book ‘Final Exit,‘ a person using the helium hood method goes into coma in a couple of seconds, and dies peacefully within 3-5 minutes. Thus there is no time for panic. Researchers known to me have been involved in hundreds of terminally-ill cases which have always been effective smoothly. — Derek Humphry.

   What I dont understand is how you make the helium stay on…..dont you have to manually open the valve to inflate a balloon??? Am i missing something?

   Read the book ‘Final Exit’ and its Addendum for details.

   I personally feel that people with severe depression,and have had this condition for a very long time,and probably have to live with it for the rest of there lives,like me,should have a right as to whether we want to live or die,because to be honest living with this terrible disabling condition i might as well be dead anyway.
   I don’t enjoy anything about being alive,my days go by with agony and pain just like it would with a person who is seriously ill.
   My hope is that one day soon there will be help for people who are feeling exactly the same way as me.

    I’m new to this site but like nuttynetty, I am a rational human who no longer wants to live with the shame and pain of mental illness. I want the right to die with dignity. Somebody please blog me back about the Nembutal pill and the helium tanks. I am unsure which is easiest and most affordable. How do I say goodbye without sounding like an irrational phsychotic. Hospitalization is not the answer, it has only prolong the suffering

    You can get the information you are asking for from my book ‘Final Exit’ which is protected speech under the US 1st Amendment. Other types of guidance are risky. For instance, 7 volunteers of the nonprofit group “Final Exit Network” are facing trials next year in Georgia and Arizona in which the passing of information on self-deliverance seems to be the issue.
