New Film about Buying Nembutal in Tijuana
It was around 10 years ago, that Kathy from Eastbourne, decided to take the plunge and travel to Tijuana to buy herself some Nembutal.
|
Now in her early 90s, Kathy is still going strong, secure in the knowledge that she has ‘something in the cupboard in case things should turn bad’.
|
The new documentary by Mexican film maker, Analeine Cal y Mayor, Sweet Death, juxtaposes Kathys’ trip to Tijuana with Philip Nitschke’s comedy debut at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe where her performed his one-man show ‘Dicing with Dr Death’.
|
|
Sweet Death Director: Analeine Cal y Mayor
|
Sweet Death Executive Producer: Viggo Mortensen
|
Philip, Kathy and Analeine are all attending. Exit Members are cordially invited to join them.

Record Numbers of Elderly Die in Switzerland
This week, Swiss Info have reported that the suicide rate among older people in Switzerland has reached record levels.
|
The main reason for this is assisted suicide.
|
Other suicides are on the decline, but there is a significant gender difference.
|
Senior citizens were 42 times more likely to take their own lives in 2023 than people in other age groups, according to Swiss public broadcaster, RTS.
|
And the numbers are increasing: in the past 25 years, the proportion of over 85-year-olds in Switzerland who decide to take their life has quadrupled.
|
Exit Note - Athanasios Association is the only group to prioritise elderly people who are not terminally ill. Elderly couples who wish to die together are also welcome.

San Diego Reader - Best Stories of 50 Years
Back in 2008, the local San Diego newspaper, The Reader, ran a story about the influx of elderly people from around the world to Tijuana in their quest to buy Nembutal over-the-counter.
|
They even commissioned a very funny cartoon (see above).
|
This week, The Reader have re-run the story about how popular Tijuana used to be as an easy destination for buying this precious drug.
|
It is an interesting coincidence that this article is experiencing a second life at precisely the same time that a new documentary about (UK Member) Kathy’s trip to Tijuana is set to be screened at the Ierapetra International Documentary Festival in Crete.
|
The third coincidence is surely the record number of elderly who are travelling to Switzerland to die lawfully, with precisely this same drug.
|
This newsletter is, indeed, our Nembutal Special. But how the times have changed.
