I'd test it on a dog before I took it anyway it could be painful or something but really anyone who kills themselves will end up in Hell so it should stay Illegal

seems like suicide to me. yes i know it's hard to watch someone suffer while the doc shrugs his shoulders. it's still suicide. imho doctors who will prescribe this Secobarbital are acting like Dr. Kevorkian. Though that punk did it for different reasons. I can see how it would be justified in this situation, yet it's still suicide.

Hmm.. so death takes up to an hour?
What if you change your mind after drinking it? lol
I wonder if they have another chemical that is able to reverse the effects of this drug, or if its a guaranteed death once it passes your lips.

I only wish there was something like this medication at that point in time.

In this time of over population bring on the suicide booths! They could always remove the horribly painful option.

Its a pretty damn simple situation..
What other people do to themselves is none of anyone else's Business.
A really good book on this issue is here. (You can read it online)
www.mcwilliams.com...
Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do
It talks about CONSENSUAL CRIMES and how the far left/right, bible thumpers etc impose their values etc onto the rest of us.
Quite frankly i think it comes down to this.. If it isn't your body shut the hell up and let people decide for themselves what they are going to do. It isn't your right to dictate to others what they can and can do with their own body.
Edit..
Raist ..... LMAO mate.. There are plenty of things out in the world a person can kill themselves with.. Without having to resort to some drink. The advantage of having this drink is to make sure you have something that will do the job and not leave you as a vegetable or worse.
And the entire premise of unethical (first do no harm) is a joke. When in a lot of these cases not doing anything at all is doing more harm then doing something.

One day she wont be able to move or communicate with anyone just feel the pain of her muscles being replaced by bone. She will be a living statue of pain.
If she asked me to help her out I would have no problem doing what I could for her.
