(One person dies every five hours in Australia from suicide. Add that up over five years and tell me they all went in-peace. If people want to die, let them! If the grounds are fair enough, and all the screening has been done, go for it!)

Hello yvonne. Because of all the red tape, there is no way this issue will ever see the light of day. Because of the religious influences, to coin a phrase, I have a polly in my back pocket, and many more ridiculous road blocks and lets not forget, people see yuk on one side and yes that's the humane thing on the other.

Does the word hypocrite ring a bell? Only the minority will ever use it, so why all the fluffed up feathers about it?

(Yes humanity will still have to look a little deeper.)

For those for whom their own "final solution" is "available now" should they be that way inclined, let us not lose sight of the fact that for many of them (1 every 5 hours), the method that they choose in a lot of cases is, to say the least distressing eg: hanging, gassing, overdosing, jumping from high places, deliberately driving into an obstacle moving or fixed, and blowing out the brains with a fire-arm, just to name a few of the incongruous ways to self-exterminate!

Any one of these methods is distressing for all concerned and can be relatively "messy" for those involved in clean-up!

The "final solution" should be available by way of the Nembutal (Green Dream) pill, prescribed by prescription ( without penalty ) by participating MD`s. Thus a lot of the unnecesary trauma for participants, their relatives and associated medical personnel would be reduced to a minimum!

Also let us NOT forget the attempts that fail, often with tragic consequences for the "survivors" of these botched attempts, resulting in them surviving as physical vegetables, or at best severely injured
and requiring ongoing medical care!
