This week the March Snippet titled ‘Does Nembutal Cause Drowning’ is published as the May Update to the Peaceful Pill eHandbook.
|
The topic of this Snippet comes from the increasing body of scholarship that describes pulmonary edema in 84% of the autopsies of prisoners who have been executed using pentobarbital (Nembutal).
|
Anesthesiologist/ researcher Dr Joel Zivot argues that ‘the fluid is filling into the lungs and causing that terrible, uncomfortable drowning and choking sensation and that is the kind of death that is occurring in the setting of lethal injection'.
|
Yet no one in the right to die movement has any idea what Dr Zivot is referring to. This Snippet attempts to unpack what is happening here.

Readers are asked about their Mothers
My mother (99, highly educated) - After caring for her at home for five years, she has been living happily in a nursing home for four months. She is looking forward to her 100th birthday and enjoying life. I doubt she even knows what euthanasia is anymore, Deirdre
|
My mother had clearly laid out her wishes in documents ... but when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, we couldn’t do anything with them’, Jean
|
|
It is not unusual for people to change their minds and push their boundaries.
|
This is often difficult for loved ones to deal with’, Mary
|
When I bring this up, she says she has done everything she can. If I insist, she seems to think I want her to die. If I give up, she may be too late to carry out her wishes’, Caroline

The American Conservative
To anyone who wants to be better informed about the American scene in relation to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), this article gives an excellent overview: post Trump’s election but prior to him assuming office.
|
While many Nth American members have contacted Exit, worried that state laws may find themselves in Trump’s cross-hairs, the situation is maybe not as concerning as first thought.
|
Tim Rowan offers an excellent, insightful overview on long and short-term trends.
