Short Synopsis
Derek Humphry provides the clearest answers to questions surrounding assisted suicide. There is, as yet, no simple peaceful pill for self-euthanasia, and law reform is lagging behind public opinion, so until then Final Exit may be the solution to protracted terminal suffering.

Full Synopsis
Final Exit is the most famous book on voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide. There is unique step by step language for the competent adult who is terminally or hopelessly ill to bring their life to a peaceful, non-violent end if they wish. Final Exit outlines the legal complications connected with dying, death, hastened death, euthanasia laws, suicide, living wills, and advance directives. Derek Humphry explores the problems with life insurance, as well as the ethics of double suicide.

“An honest, clear, compelling book.” ---Dr. Frederick R. Abrams, physician and ethicist
