From the Author

Hastened death requires careful planning
'Final Exit' contains information about which are the best drugs to use in both self-deliverance and assisted suicide to escape a terminal illness at the end. They are prescription drugs because only these are reliably lethal. Such a release from terminal suffering requires careful advance planning.

Synopsis

Discusses passive and active euthanasia, describes the laws concerning assisted suicide, and examines suicide methods used by the terminally ill.
