>>> PP eHandbook: Peru Updates

 Posted 25 April  2012
 
The April & May 2012 updates to The Peaceful Pill eHandbook have something for everyone. If you don't fancy a trip to Cuzco to purchase your Nembutal lawfully & cheaply over the counter, then try sea-level Lima.
 
Of course, there are some folk who cannot travel. For them, the Chinese mail-order option is relevant.  You need to watch the laws of your country though as the importation of barbiturates may be illegal.
 
 
If you are over 50 years, of sound mind or seriously ill, we commend The Peaceful Pill eHandbook to you.
 
The Peaceful Pill eHandbook is the ONLY end-of-life choices guidebook to be updated 6x a year & authored by a physician & scientist.

The drug has already been banned in the UK, US, Canada, New Zealand and Sth Africa.  It remains to be seen what will happen at the May hearings.
 
Exit will publish further updates on the status of this lethal drug in The Peaceful Pill eHandbook at www.peacefulpill.com and in the next edition our newsletter, Deliverance.

Exit's second 2011 UK tour has resulted in a full schedule with 4 from 4 planned workshops being held in London, Eastbourne, Edinburgh and York.
 
Exit is especially pleased with this outcome as on previous tours, multiple venues cancelled ahead of time thwarting the organisation's best attempts to speak to the elderly and seriously ill about their end of life options.
 
In November 2011 common sense has prevailed.
