Quotes

• “If you are thinking of ending your life because you are depressed, or cannot cope with the pressures of this difficult world, do not use this book. &hellip; Please respect the true intentions of Final Exit: the right of a terminally ill person with unbearable suffering to know how to choose to die.”
• “Frequently I am asked if I will take my life when I have a terminal illness. My answer is: "I'll wait and see." If my dying is bearable, the pain well managed, and my self-control and dignity are not damaged, then I shall hang on and die naturally. But if I am one of the unlucky few who suffer abysmally, then I shall make a quick exit. This book is intended for readers who think much the same as me.”
• “I tend to choose a doctor in the forties age range, male or female, in general preference to an older one. &hellip; They understand the full implications of modern medical technology a great deal better than their elders, are more open to new ideas, and usually are keenly aware of today's medical controversies, including law and ethics.”
• “If you have to help a person die, say nothing. Let the police do their own sleuthing.”
• “Too soon is to waste the good aspects of life, and perhaps unkind to those who love and need you. Too late means you might lose control.”
• “Ugh! The plastic bag! Agreed. Not very aesthetic, but not so bad with a little a little prior practice to become accustomed to it.”
