Lacks practical solutions October 1, 2008
For those who would like to have control of their destiny, this is detailed but frustrating book. The problem is that none of the solutions that could be considered "peaceful" are practical for most people. The primary "peaceful" solution requires going to Mexico to smuggle a life-ending drug into the US. The second best option requires obtaining a prescription for a drug that most doctor's are unwilling to provide. The remaining solutions are anything but peaceful and would cause devastating trauma to any family member who might become involved during or after the end of life event. Hopefully, there are (or will be) other books that better address the issue of death with dignity.

I just returned this book to amazon, asking for a full refund, the comments and advertisements about this book on amazon's website did not carry through to the book --- the book is basically a compendium of drugs and various ways to end your life --- the "pill" that they talk about is basically metaphysical because it has not been invented yet --- although, it seems that if you can produce methamphetamines in your kitchen you should probably be able to produce this "pill" as well. I have no idea why this book is banned in Australia -- it provides you with less than basic education on euthanasia and even then on a generic level. I gave it 2 stars because of the typography...

The Peaceful Pill Handbook is overpriced for what it is. The same info is available free on the internet. A recent New York Times article, also free, was actually more informative.
 It fills a need. May 13, 2008

This is the only book of its kind that I've read that is so thoroughly researched. It's a pretty comprehensive study of the various ways there are to end one's life. And each method is rated in many categories including effectiveness, ease of obtaining the required materials, painlessness, etc. Near the end of the book there is a good description of how to obtain the best drug (in Mexico) and includes very helpful pictures of the products. I can seriously see cutting the pictures out and showing them to a clerk in Mexico who might otherwise not be able to figure out what I was looking for (because of language difficulties). However, you pay a stiff price to get this information in paperback form ($35.),there is a lot of scientific "padding" to fill out the pages and that is why I gave it four stars instead of five. However, it is the only game in town at this time as far as I know so I'm glad that I have it in my library in spite of the high cost.

I am only in my 30's and not ready to leave this place just yet(if I can help it). Knowing that I have this book is such peace of mind for me and my boyfriend because should anything happen I want to control MY outcome. The book gives you alternatives on how to end it and gives you the information you need to be able to make sure you don't make mistakes. This is much better than trying something and have it go horribly wrong.
I REALLY THINK EUTHANASIA SHOULD BE LEGAL.
