Next Exit Snippet - Wednesday, 6 October
Note - New Date
The September Snippet will now run on Wednesday 6 October. Registrations are open so register now!
|
The October Exit Snippet will be held on the USA Lethal Mixtures.
|
The October Exit Snippet explores the groundbreaking work coming out of the US which details the combination of lethal drugs that can be used for a peaceful death when the holy grail of Nembutal is not available.
|
In States such as California, the price of Nembutal is now out of reach for many people. Lethal drug combinations such as D-DMAPh have been devised to fill the gap.
|
The change of date is due to the death during the week of Exit's beloved dog, Henny.
|

Remembering Henny
For the past 12 years, no Exit meeting was complete without Henny. She was a constant presence both in Australia and Europe.
|
Henny died this week of heart valve failure. Diagnosed almost 4 years ago, she lived on longer than anyone expected.
|
She died peacefully at home with her owners Philip and Fiona. The vet came quietly with his 'green dream'.
|
We have compiled a slide show of some of the highlights of Henny's very full life.

Exit Submission to Australian Senate
In July 1996, the Northern Territory of Australia became the first jurisdiction in the world to implement a right to die law - the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act.
|
This law lasted only 9 months before the Australian Parliament overturned the law, using a little known loophole in the Australian Constitution which allows the Federal Parliament to make laws for the Territories.
|
A new Senate Bill is seeking to overturn the overturning, and allow Australia's territories to once again make laws on assisted suicide.

Italians Gain Sufficient Signatures for
Right to Die Referendum
Last month Exit reported that Italian group Association Luca Coscioni were calling for signatures for a referendum to remove the criminality from assisted suicide under Italian law.
|
Exit is pleased to announce that this week came the news that already over 750,000 have been garnered, ensuring that there will be a referendum on the issue.
|
This means that Italy will follow Germany and Austria in adopting a human rights approach to a person's right to die with dignity, that is not based on the degree of terminal illness and expected death time line.
|
Rather it is based upon mental capacity and one's ability to preside over one's life and death.
