The use of plastic bags in combination with sleeping pills for self-determined dying is a method that has been known and used for a long time, but has fallen somewhat into oblivion due to the increasing popularity of the so-called helium method. The method "plastic bag and sleeping pills" is comparatively easy to carry out and does not require much effort to obtain the necessary equipment. Nevertheless, there are frequent reports of failed attempts and sometimes incorrect reports regarding the way it works. There are some details which are of great importance for a successful implementation. This publication provides a comprehensive description of the underlying principle and shows which points should be remembered for the success of self-determined dying with the "plastic bag and sleeping pills" method.

Recently, I have received more frequent inquiries regarding the correct execution of a suicide by means of compression of the carotid arteries. While looking through the available literature on this method, I came across not only quite comprehensive explanations, but also instructions that propagate the method without going into the underlying pathophysiological aspects and the resulting necessities for practical implementation. For some people this might be enough - I want to express this without criticism, because it is my concern not to complicate methods for rational suicide by unnecessary theoretical explanations. However, I believe that more comprehensive information on the basics and on the practical implementation is needed to seriously address the question of whether interrupting the oxygen supply by compressing the carotid arteries is a suitable method for a painless and peaceful, self-determined death. This little book is therefore intended to provide interested parties with an opportunity to gain an overview of the "Carotid Artery" method, as I would like to call it here. The paper contains basic information on the principle of the method and its practical implementation, deals with possible sources of error and presents some options that could make the method safer and more reliable.

Jessica Düber Self-Determined Dying with Poisonous Plants - The Yew Using poisonous plants to induce death is an option that has not had a good reputation in the euthanasia literature of recent years. The actual active ingredient content of the plant is often too uncertain, the effects too incalculable, and the death, often experienced while fully conscious, too agonizing. And indeed, the symptoms caused by herbal poisoning that precede death do not sound pleasant in any case. Thus, in my work so far, I have also focused on the currently "modern" methods - besides inducing hypoxia through various approaches, these are mainly methods in which drugs are taken in severe overdose. However, the "perfect dying pill" does not exist or is not available for people willing to die - due to lack of political will (e.g., pentobarbital, which in high doses leads to a peaceful sleep followed by a peaceful death and which is also used for rapid and painless euthanasia of non-human animals). Thus, in methods that induce death by drug overdose, one usually uses a combination of different agents. Again, it is often the case that the lethal agent alone would result in a very unpleasant death and therefore must be combined with a strong sleeping agent so that the dying process is not consciously experienced. To be able to use poisonous plants for self-determined dying, they should also be combined with additional substances (antiemetics, and strong sleeping pills). With this premise in mind, I looked at poisonous plants and examined their potential uses for suicide.The great advantage of herbal poisons is that they are very easy to obtain and we cannot be denied access to them. In the use of pharmaceuticals, we depend on availability in pharmacies, on the black market, or just liberal legislation. With sufficient knowledge about the possibilities of nature, on the other hand, no one will be able to restrict us in our self-determination. Therefore, I would like to introduce the yew tree in this little booklet.

From acclaimed classical historian, author of Ghost on the Throne (“Gripping . . . the narrative verve of a born writer and the erudition of a scholar” —Daniel Mendelsohn) and editor of The Landmark Arrian:The Campaign of Alexander (“Thrilling” —The New York Times Book Review), a high-stakes drama full of murder, madness, tyranny, perversion, with the sweep of history on the grand scale. At the center, the tumultuous life of Seneca, ancient Rome’s preeminent writer and philosopher, beginning with banishment in his fifties and subsequent appointment as tutor to twelve-year-old Nero, future emperor of Rome. Controlling them both, Nero’s mother, Julia Agrippina the Younger, Roman empress, great-granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus, sister of the Emperor Caligula, niece and fourth wife of Emperor Claudius. James Romm seamlessly weaves together the life and written words, the moral struggles, political intrigue, and bloody vengeance that enmeshed Seneca the Younger in the twisted imperial family and the perverse, paranoid regime of Emperor Nero, despot and madman. Romm writes that Seneca watched over Nero as teacher, moral guide, and surrogate father, and, at seventeen, when Nero abruptly ascended to become emperor of Rome, Seneca, a man never avid for political power became, with Nero, the ruler of the Roman Empire. We see how Seneca was able to control his young student, how, under Seneca’s influence, Nero ruled with intelligence and moderation, banned capital punishment, reduced taxes, gave slaves the right to file complaints against their owners, pardoned prisoners arrested for sedition. But with time, as Nero grew vain and disillusioned, Seneca was unable to hold sway over the emperor, and between Nero’s mother, Agrippina—thought to have poisoned her second husband, and her third, who was her uncle (Claudius), and rumored to have entered into an incestuous relationship with her son—and Nero’s father, described by Suetonius as a murderer and cheat charged with treason, adultery, and incest, how long could the young Nero have been contained? Dying Every Day is a portrait of Seneca’s moral struggle in the midst of madness and excess. In his treatises, Seneca preached a rigorous ethical creed, exalting heroes who defied danger to do what was right or embrace a noble death. As Nero’s adviser, Seneca was presented with a more complex set of choices, as the only man capable of summoning the better aspect of Nero’s nature, yet, remaining at Nero’s side and colluding in the evil regime he created. Dying Every Day is the first book to tell the compelling and nightmarish story of the philosopher-poet who was almost a king, tied to a tyrant—as Seneca, the paragon of reason, watched his student spiral into madness and whose descent saw five family murders, the Fire of Rome, and a savage purge that destroyed the supreme minds of the Senate’s golden age.

In this book the author makes a case for legalized physician-assisted dying. Using the latest data from Oregon and the Netherlands, he puts a new slant on perennial debate topics such as "slippery slopes," "the integrity of medicine," and "sanctity of life." This book provides an in-depth look at how we die in America today. It examines the shortcomings of our end-of-life system. You will learn about terminal torture in hospital ICUs and about the alternatives: hospice and palliative care. The author scrutinizes the good, the bad, and the ugly. He provides a critique of the practice of palliative sedation. The book makes a strong case that assisted dying complements hospice. By providing both, Oregon now has the best palliative-care system in America. This book, above all, may help you or someone you care about navigate this strange landscape we call "end of life." It can be an informed guide to "a good death" in the age of hospice and high-tech medical intervention.

Easeful Death sets out in straightforward terms the main arguments both for and against the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia. The legal choices confronting those caring for the terminally ill, and indeed those patients themselves who may be facing intolerable suffering towards the end of their lives, have been the cause of fierce public debate in recent years. The book takes as its starting point attempts in Britain and other countries to bring compassion into the rules governing the end of a patient's life. Drawing on experience in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the US state of Oregon, where either assisted dying or euthanasia have been legalized, the authors explore the philosophical and ethical views on both sides of the debate, and examine how different legislative proposals would affect different members of society, from the very young to the very old. They describe the practical, medical processes of palliative care, self-denial of food and water, and assisted dying and euthanasia, and ultimately conclude that the public is ready to embrace a more compassionate approach to assisted dying. This sensitive and authoritative short volume is informed throughout by a strong sense that, whatever the results of the legislative argument, compassion for one another must be both the guide and the restraint upon the way we treat people who are dying or who want to die.
