Release of euthanasia ‘Betty Bags’
Exit International’s US affiliate has released the ‘Betty Bag’ Kit in Australia.
The kit consists of an instructional video by Victorian nurse educator Betty Peters, along with the necessary items needed to ensure an elective, reliable and peaceful death.
The two instructional videos include ‘Doing it with Betty’ which was banned from YouTube, and the short film, “Putting it together with Betty” which has been only available in the restricted ‘Peaceful Pill eHandbook’, give information that explains the principals of a hypoxic death and correct many common misunderstandings about the process.
Betty has supported the project since inception.
Speaking from Melbourne she said, “having the knowledge and having the ability to peacefully end your life can be immensely re assuring for elderly people like myself.”
Exit International Director Dr Philip Nitschke said he was glad the decision had been made to make the kits available to elderly and sick Australian’s anxious to have the option of a reliable and peaceful death at the time of their choosing.
“Elderly Australian want the reassurance of knowing they have the choice of a peaceful death at the time of their choosing. The ‘Betty Bag’ provides a reliable and totally legal option. Nothing about this choice is illegal. All necessary items are readily available, and the Betty instructional videos provide clear instruction.”
“People have waited for years for politicians to pass decent voluntary euthanasia laws and many want the option of a peaceful death at the time of their choosing regardless of what the politicians do”
The Betty Bag kit with instructional videos will retail for $50 and be available to people over age 50
They will be available from mid October from the Exit website http://www.peacefulpill.com
