The last barbiturate sleeping pill (Nembutal) was withdrawn in Australia about 15 years ago...... it was hardly ever used and the companty couldnt make any money selling it...... however, it left a gap in the area of mercy killing...... if a doctor wanted to help a terminal cancer patiert etc end it, a script for 50 Nembutal and a bottle of cheap champagne, and they got a prwacefull easy end.
Now, it is much more difficult...... I've read of people with MS, cancer etc importing it illigaly from mexico via the internet etc.
Maybe one day our government will get with it and allow mercy killings?
