Product Description
As the legal controversy continues--this newly revised and updated third edition of the landmark bestseller contains new, critically important information for patients, loved ones, and medical personnel.
The original publication of Final Exit stunned the nation by offering people with terminal illness a choice on how--and when--to end their suffering. It helped thousands by giving clear instructions to doctors, nurses, and families on how to handle a patient’s request for euthanasia.
In the wake of court cases and legislative mandates, this revised and updated third edition goes far beyond the original to provide new information about the legality of euthanasia and assisted suicide, and a thoughtful examination of the personal issues involved. It has become the essential source to help loved ones and supportive doctors remain within existing laws and keep a person’s dying intimate, private, and dignified.
With deep compassion and sensitivity, it spells out why a living will may not be sufficient to have a person’s wishes carried out--and what document is a better alternative. It updates where to get proper drugs and exactly how to carry out the quickest, most peaceful way to make a final exit. Finally, it gently talks to a person considering self-deliverance about alternatives, planning, and the means to make every death a "good death" at our time of greatest need.

Looks like an important addendum is not included in this, as it is in ERGO's, 2008-03-29
This has a discount, but I've read it's important to get the updated addendum info like the helium kit, which does not look like it's included here.
The ERGO site has the addendum included with the book. You can also get the addendum separately.

Add another unnecessary death to this book's scorecard., 2007-11-17
Chris had everything to live for except some financial troubles. He became infatuated with this book and died yesterday with it by his side.
A brilliant inventor, Chris prided himself by being self-taught by reading books.
The rest speaks for itself. If you see a friend or loved one with this book, get them help ASAP

 An Exit When There Is None, 2007-10-31
So many seniors today have solicited information regarding graceful exists. Religions and bureacracies allow none. This is an attempt to give some diginity to 'final thoughts'.
