She was suffering from end-stage breast cancer. Altho what I did was a crime, because it was Jean's idea and a compassionate act, the prosecutor (in the UK) decided not to charge me. I have been campaigning for lawful physician-assisted suicide ever since.

Obviously, everyone who wants to use the Nembutal pill will not be able to go to Australia to become a patient of Dr. Nitschke. And will the drug be available to people like me who suffer from major depression? Mine is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain which has never in all my adult years been cured by psychotherapy and/or meds. I am not mentally ill, and completely competent.

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.
