The author implies (by omission) that palliative care results in a peaceful, pain-free death. You can't rely on that! I wonder how often physicians die as a result of taking a drug such as Nembutal - the drug recommended by Exit International. Civilians can't buy this drug - not even illegally, e.g. on the Dark Web, as far as I can see. But physicians can. I don't want to get caught. I don't want the kind of "palliative care" that amounts to death-by-dehydration. If I get throat cancer and can't swallow, no amount of pain-killers will make my death pleasant. I want a stash of Nembutal, so that I can do myself in, if the prospect I'm facing is a nest of wires and tubes or untreatable pain. It's an ethical disgrace that it's illegal for me to manage the end of my own life. Apparently any relative that accompanies me on the plane to Switzerland risks prosecution for assisting a suicide. So if I want to die quickly and peacefully, I'll have to do that on my own. The amount of humbug that swirls around this subject makes my head swim.
