He should be the first to demonstrate how to use these devices and pills.

It is being tested for contaminants in an Australian laboratory.

Why?

Shades of "On The Beach" and the big red pill.

Oh, well you know, they have to make sure that it's all safe to use or someone could potentially die as a result. Gosh, those doctors and lawmakers are so smart.

Good! Send several cases of them to the muslimes. They love to commit suicide. This way they can do it quick and easy.

This is why I stopped dating a certain Chemistry PhD student back in the day.

Moore's Law (Too much of a good thing is just right) doesn't always produce good results.

Dr. Nitschke said their plan, after they are dead, is to bequeath their equipment and how-to knowledge to the next group of people who want to end their lives. About 100 are on a waiting list.

Waiting List? Waiting List?

This is part of something that I could never understand with the "right to die" crowd. If they really want to die, what's stopping them?

Are they afraid that they're going to be arrested?

Why do they need a drug or machine to begin with?

Why don't they just hold their breath until they've had enough?

Why don't they treat themselves to the "Terry Schiavo" treatment and starve themselves to death?

Are these people really so ignorant that they can't figure out how to kill themselves?

Why?

Probably for the same reason why prisoners about to be executed via lethal injection first have their arms swabbed with alcohol. We don't want them to catch an infection or get sick now do we?

That's because they aren't fighting for a "right to die". Everyone has a right to die. And everyone will die whether they want to or not. What these animals want is a 'right to kill'.

This article reminded me to pick up a Vincent Price movie at Blockbuster's this weekend.

So why not just jump in a river or something? Why manufacure drugs in a home lab?
Let's hear the argument for this one. Oh yes, too much of an invalid to throw themselves off a bridge, but they can be pretend home phamacists instead. Knives, razorblades, or overdoses of the many drugs they are probably on just won't work...

Also, as pointed out, what's the point of testing for "impurities"? Afraid of a "bad death"?

Whay's the big deal? Cyanide's been around or centuries. Is it necessary to spend money to develop a suicide pill when a really good one already exists? Maybe these guys should try out some cyanide before wasting money.

Because then it may not work so well.

I suggest the advocate serve as volunteer sugjects, to test the purity of the agent.
