As Gabriella Coslovich reported in The Age 18Jan10 as the huge Republic Tower billboard was erected in Melbourne showing "The Beautiful Chair" art piece by Greg Taylor and Philip Nitschke..IF YOU were faced with the prospect of enduring a painful and protracted death in the grip of a terminal disease, would you want the legally sanctioned option of taking your own life?
It is a vexed question that has polarised Australian society.
''Whether I would do it, I don't know, but I would at least want to have the choice. We don't tell people what God they have to worship, that's a choice that they have, so why should they be foisting their choice of death onto us?'' Greg said.
''Why should we have to suffer as a sacrifice to their God? That's bizarre, especially if you are an atheist. Hey, people, live and let live.''
Agree or not, looking at the Melbourne billboard floating carpet of choice, or viewing the real piece at the Hobart opening this week of MONA the $80 million private museum and gallery of David Walsh, one will be encouraged to think about the issue.
In Hobart you can even play the game, sit in 'the beautiful chair', and decide whether or not to touch the screen of the 'Deliverance' laptop of death.
Exit International wants people to engage with the issue and 'The Beautiful Chair' is the first in a number of initiatives to be rolled out in 2011 to achieve this goal.

Hi,
Congratulations for your work.
I would only like to know why are you claiming that nembutal is the best drug when there are other drugs or combinations of drugs available on the market that is painless too.
People flying to Mexico to get it?
Very strange.
The first drug you used when Exit started is still on the market and it's very cheap and everybody can have it.
Thank you.

Hi,
First of all thank you for all the info for people who want to commit suicide. I'd like to know if the kit is really euthanasia reliable... I 'm in France and obtain the Nembutal is difficult, I am researching but not obvious with customs. You 're the only one who can help people...
Thank you

I have gone to Mexico in 2010 to get Nembutal, and came home empty handed. I could not find it. What are the available drugs you mentioned? Please help me.
