Should be required reading ...

June 24, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Dispassionate and intelligent discussion of end-life choices. Here's a hard fact: pain meds often don't work. Doctors often will do horrific procedures to keep patients alive. I read this because I live with chronic pain and narcotics and barbiturates are of little help. I worry what might happen if the pain becomes unbearable. This book eased my mind. Please note: The author recommends readers exhaust every remedy before making any choices, as well as talking with family members. A brave and cautious author.

Review of Final Exit

August 29, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I found this book very helpful and will become a member of the Final Exit group. I recommend the book to anyone who has questions and fears concerning death and how to gain control of your own living and dying. Because of this book I will live longer because I know there is a fast and painless way out when I'm ready.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I wish I had read this when my husband was diagnosed with his fatal-in-5to8years illness. The book examines why people with terminal illnesses may want to die in their own way and time, instead of waiting for their illness' "Sword of Damocles" to fall. The book helped me deal with the death of a family member. It is NOT a quick "How to off yourself" DIY book. The book is thoughtful and thought-provoking.

When illness or age approach....

June 6, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Both old age and illness have approached. This book has been indispensable in knowing from a practical and legal perspective what the possibilities are. It has helped with conversations with physicians, hospice staff, my friends and family, and lawyers. This is no "Dr. Kervorkian light," in that Humphry tells it straight re the self-deliverance experiences and options, most of which are pretty unattractive from my point of view for a loved one or myself. However, he also explains how to work with health care staff to reach palliation and a passing with dignity, pain free, should one choose.

The book is in some ways out of date, referring, for example, to the Hemlock Society rather than to the (2014, current & excellent) organization, Compassion & Choice. It is also somewhat out of date in federal and some state laws, particularly laws ensuring a patient's right to comfort and palliative care, as far as I can tell.

However it is straight, yet compassionate in style and covers just about everything I wanted to learn about this difficult topic.

If you or a loved one needs a good general book to supplement discussions with clergy, doctors, and family, you may find this excellent. It gives a solid foundation for these discussions and further research. I think it an fine value specially at used book prices for the most recent edition.

Super important book, but it should still preferrably be an introdution into topic.

November 15, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A quick two day read, which incredibly enhances your personal freedom, to the point of having the ultimate: -freedom from life, when this becomes intolerable, -giving you real, less terrifying options, to depart without last minute suffering and leaving an embarrassing mess behind. Following advice in this book, you could almost "exit" and being proud of this last act. I felt great peace after reading it, and slept that night like a baby, or should I say like the dead, unlike most of the last few months. This book is excellent for the anxious ones among us, as it is so short, although a bit too short on variety of "recommended" techniques. I would like the section on suicide from exposure expanded, as it contains risks, but also permits a lonesome exit within natural settings and by natural means (cold). One of my ten favourite books, not due to being good read, but due to its topic. Thank you very much, Mr Humphry.

The most important book I've read. I will no longer have panic attacks about whether or when I can end my life. If it's important you control the end of your life, this easy to read and understand book will give you much relief.
