Suicide by Oxygen Deprivation with Helium
This article researches a relatively new suicide method advanced by right-to-die organizations: oxygen deprivation by breathing helium inside a plastic hood. The article begins with a review of the role of the coroner and the history of oxygen deprivation with helium; it then examines 20 Judgements of Inquiry (JOI) by British Columbia coroners into this form of suicide. The JOI were obtained through the Freedom of Information and Protection of Pr…

The Debreather
In response to the general prohibition of euthanasia and assisted suicide, some right-to-die activists have developed non-medical methods to covertly hasten death. One such method is a "debreather," a closed system breathing device that laypersons can use to induce hypoxia for persons seeking euthanasia or assisted suicide. This article presents data from nine cases where the debreather was used on humans, resulting in eight deaths. The covert pr…
Nutech and Non-Physician Assisted Suicide
This article responds to J. Werth's (2001) concerns about lay person involvement in illegal, unregulated assisted death activities. The author disputes the necessity for a spiral of conflict between the NuTech assisted death activists and their opponents. He also challenges the idea that assisted death must be the dominion of medical control. To shed light on the respective arguments, the author proposes that empirical investigation into the use …
Non-Physician Assisted Suicide
This article reports on the 2nd Self-Deliverance New Technology Conference (NuTech), held in November 1999, in Seattle, Washington. Right-to-die activists from six countries met to demonstrate a number of devices for non-medical assisted death and to share preliminary findings on their use. The author attended all sessions of the private conference and received confidential memoranda and papers. An overt observer-as-participant method was used. F…

Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide
This anonymous postal survey explores the attitudes and experiences concerning voluntary euthanasia (VE) and assisted suicide (AS) held by professionally registered members of the British Columbia Association of Social Workers. Social workers determine only a minor moral distinction between VE and AS and a large majority believe both acts should be legal, in certain circumstances (VE 75.9 per cent; AS 78.2 per cent). Approximately 80.0 per cent f…
The Right to Die
Bruce Wilkinson has presented his case against my euthanasia and aid in dying policy. He is concerned about possible 'social benefits' in legalized euthanasia, the 'slippery slope' from voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia, and a disregard for the 'sanctity of life'. He subscribes to the view that terminally ill or incurably ill persons seeking euthanasia must be denied the right to die in a fashion consistent with their own values and …
