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?
