Europeans at least are fortunate to live within ordinary travel distance to the Netherlands where it is legal. in any case I already know what can be done if I need to make a quick exit with a minimum of fuss. I can do without the moral busybodies.
I don't know too much about the Netherlands but looked into the most famous one Dignitas in Switzerland it would cost thousands. Americans have access to guns, if you want to do it here in Britain you have to do it brutally and risk it going wrong and your life being worse.
I don't want to get into trouble for advertising specific methods, but there are non-messy definitive methods that will get the seeker where he or she wants to go, that don't cost anything or very little. generically, the physiology can't last long outside of a certain temperature range. I knew somebody who had a stroke and had to go to a nursing home, this person lost her hunger and thirst, and she was gone within a week. guns are not infallible, too many cases of people failing and being worse off than before. the worst part is knowing what one used to be. plus they leave a mess for somebody else to clean up, not good form at all. I should conclude this with a witty little ditty by a clever person, Dorothy Parker's "resume"-
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Where is Dorothy Parker when we need her? Can you imagine what she would have to say in current times?
I think it is illegal because, even if western cultures are not religious, the cultures grew out largely from Judeo-Christian religion which sees any death as bad. Not a bad premise from which to start.
