I see nothing wrong with your emphasising your book. If anything I've found your DVD extremely helpful. My point is that when you consider that a particular question posed to you cannot be addressed directly because of legal restrictions (for instance, because your answer can be misconstrued as encouraging or promoting suicide) you could make it explicit to the sender (and to all of us that follow your blog) that you cannot answer the question for those reasons. ergo,

Disappointment could be avoided should you let us know that you cannot directly answer a question because of legal reasons and if possible, why. Just a suggestion! Talking of books, I bought the Final Exit on DVD 2006. Could I ask you: 1. Other than the format and the date, obviously, what are the main differences with the print version, and 2. Have there been any updates on the DVD? Dear Ergo,

There's a lot more to it than that! And he seems to be making a bag for death by suffocation in 30 minutes with a bag tied at the neck. Much more effective is the helium hood method described and illustrated in '<a href="http://www.finalexit.org" rel="nofollow">Final Exit' </a> It produces coma in 4-5 seconds and brain death in 4-5 minutes.

Living in France, I would like to know if i could and where buy an exit bag. I am not really confident about the sport headband, and i am wondering about the method shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feNz_0QWM6w Is it the good way to build it by my own? Thank you First, thank you for your work..
