Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

The Azide Wars have come about with the advent in the Netherlands of Middel X as an end of life method.

As a country where voluntary euthanasia has long been legal, there has been a groundswell of discontentment amongst older people who resent having to ask doctors for help to die.

Addressing this souring mood has been activist group CLW who have strongly advocated the use of Middel X, an available, legal inorganic salt they claim provides individuals with a reliable end of life option.

In opposition has been the Dutch Medical Association and prominent right to die activists such as Dutch psychiatrist Boudewijn Chabot who argue that Middel X is a dangerous substance that does not provide the peaceful and reliable death that CLW claim.

The August 2021 PPeH update focuses on the Azide Wars and presents collected data and eye witness accounts so you can draw your own conclusion.

Sarco: First Swiss Use - What Actually Happened 19:53

לפני 26 weeks19:53

19:53

Breaking his silence, this week Exit Director and Sarco Creator, Dr Philip Nitschke, has spoken out about the first use of the Sarco, how the device operated exactly as planned, and the dirty politics which have since come into play. After 12 years of production and planning the Sarco was finally used in Switzerland on 23 September 2024 by a seriously ill American woman. She entered the Sarco unassisted, pressed the button unassisted, lost consciousness in < 2min, with death occurring at around 7 minutes. The police were notified of the death half an hour after she entered the device. While the Sarco worked precisely as expected, the aftermath of its first use has been controversial and the event surrounded by misinformation and fake news. To listen to Philip discuss the first use of the Sarco is to be better informed about the true events that took place, and why Sarco offers an accessible, drug-free option for those seeking a peaceful and reliable death.

Exit Podcast: What I should have told Kenny - the first nitrogen hypoxia execution 41:51

לפני 1 year41:51

41:51

The first execution of a prisoner, Kenny Smith, using nitrogen hypoxia, took place in the US state of Alabama on 25 Jan 2024. A few weeks earlier I had visited Holman prison to inspect the new equipment they planned to use, and met Kenny on death row with his lawyer Robert Grass. I gave evidence at a hearing in Montgomery a week later in an attempt to stop the execution. Kenny died, but accounts of a slow grotesque death were horrible. When I talked with him I should have explained how he could have made his death fast, peaceful and effective.…

First Exit Podcast for 2023 featuring Fiona Stewart in conversation with Philip Nitschke. The topic is the coming Canadian trial of Kenneth Law a distributor of the lethal legal salt, sodium nitrite. Described by some as a 'serial killer', but by many members of Exit as a savior who provided them with a reliable means for a peaceful death, the trial of Law will be watched closely around the world by supporters of rational suicide and the right to die.. for further details < www.exitinternational.net >…

Exit Podcast No 24 - The Huib Drion Letter: 30 Years Later 30:48

לפני 4 years30:48

30:48

When former Dutch Supreme Court Judge, Huib Drion , wrote a short but pointed letter to the editor of the newspaper, NRC , little could he have known what his legacy would be. Drion argued that all older people should have a right to terminate their lives at a time of their choosing. He argued that this was a separate social need to that of euthanasia for the seriously ill. Drion bemoaned that older people like himself were ill-equipped to take this step in way that was peaceful and dignified. He noted that while doctors and pharmacists had access to the means, everyone else would be forced to jumping in a canal or in front of train; methods that he said did not bear thinking about. Fast forward to today and recent weeks have seen the arrest of the chairman of Dutch organisation CLW. Listeners may remember this is the group behind the Middel X powder (covered in the August Podcast ); the group that is attempting to force Dutch law to take account of the need of older, rational adults and their right to a self determined death. This podcast is wide-ranging and both celebrates and comiserates the Drion letter: what does progress look like and are we there yet?…

Exit Podcast No 21 - The Push Back: Towards a New Human Rights-based Focus 22:34

לפני 4 years22:34

22:34

In early April, Dutch activist group, CLW launched legal action against the Dutch state arguing that the prohibition on assisted suicide and assisted suicide drugs should be abolished. These should be abolished because they prevent self-determination at the end of life. If self-determination is a fundamental human right, they argued that a nation State that keeps the right un-exercisable makes the right a false one and the State is acting unlawfully. The Dutch have taken their lead from recent constitutional court decisions in Germany and Austria which confirm that self-determination is a human right that the government should not interfere in. What is more, self-determination at the end of life exists irrespective of age and health/ illness status. This is to say that all people of sound mind have the right to determine when and how they die; they don't need a doctor to give permission or tell them how.…

Exit Podcast No 20 - Katie Engelhart's new book The Inevitable 31:30

לפני 4 years31:30

31:30

Exit first met Katie Englehart about 5 years ago when she was part of the production team behind the Vice documentary, Time to Die . After 4 years of filming, Vice had footage on just about everyone that Philip Nitschke had met. It was via this immersion that Engelhart would change mediums, and bring the stories of 3 Exit members into her written word. The Inevitable: Dispatches on the Right to Die is as weighty as an academic tomb, but as engaging and easy to read as a popular biography. The strength of the book is the stories of the lives that it tells; each on a different theme. We meet Exit Members Avril Henry who is old, Maia Calloway whose body is failing her due to MS and Adam Maier-Clayton who has some serious and chronic mental illnesses. We also meet Debra Koosed who is losing her mind to dementia. Engelhart follows each of these people as they negotiate their way to a peaceful end. She incorporates two doctors working in the field, for good measure: Lonny Shavelson who is one of the talents behind the the lethal drug mixtures, highlighted in February's Doxit Podcast and yours truly, Philip Nitschke . To read The Inevitable is to be better informed. To listen to this podcast is to be the fly behind the fly on the wall ...…

Exit Podcast No 19 - The USA Lethal Mixtures 26:48

לפני 4 years26:48

26:48

Since the scarcity of Nembutal - the best end of life drug - in the US due to both its prohibitive price and the refusal of EU drug manufacturers to sell the drug in that country (because of objections to its use in capital punishment), other alternatives have needed to be examined by doctors working under death with dignity laws. In this Doxit Podcast, Peaceful Pill Handbook authors, Philip Nitschke and Fiona Stewart, discuss the evolution and emergence of the USA Lethal Drug Mixtures. The alternative multi-drug compounds provide a reliable, peaceful death for a fraction of the price of Nembutal. Their refinement over the years means that they provide a very good alternative to Nembutal. Full details of the current 5-Drug protocol, D-DMAPh and their use as effective DIY agents in published in the Feb21 update of The Peaceful Pill eHandbook…

26:54

In this week's Doxit Podcast we discuss the January 2021 update to the Peaceful Pill e Handbook which focuses on the two issues of premedication and potentiation and the role both play in a peaceful and reliable death. Potentiation of lethal drugs is relevant if one has old drugs or substances or if they are from dubious sources or if they have been stored for a long time. Potentiators are also the drugs that bring about sedation, ensuring a more acceptable ‘sleep while you die’ process.…

Exit Podcast No 17 - 2020 Looking Forward/ Looking Back 37:57

לפני 4 years37:57

37:57

The year that was thanks to COVID-19 but it was not all bad news. Exit’s Doxit Podcast ‘Looking Back Looking Forward’ reflects on the good and the bad to come out of the pandemic experience. For example, like so many organisations around the world, Exit moved our core operations online. Face to face workshops were abandoned in preference of Zoom workshops. Four, fully-online 4 hour meetings were held between June and October across different global time zones. The NuTech 2020 conference was also held entirely online in September. In retrospect, it seems perfect practice to have live-streamed the last two NuTech meets in 2017 and 2018 (in addition to in-room attendance). The step to virtual was never going to be too hard! But COVID-19 also generated the odd good development. Not only did Donald Trump tell the world about Chloroquine (albeit as a life-preserver rather than ‘ender’), but developers created new anti-viral devices; helmets which may well be valuable when it comes to the use of gases for a peaceful and reliable end of life choice (more to come in the PPeH). The first Doxit Podcast for 2021 examines these issues and more; including our forthcoming Exit Mini Monthly Workshops – Snippets – which commence online Wednesday 3 February at 21.00 GMT. Registrations will open Sunday 10 January.…

Exit Podcast No 16 - Australian/ NZ Legal Wave of Change 31:50

From 25 years ago when voluntary euthanasia for the terminally ill was so controversial that the Federal Government of Australia used a hitherto unknown section of the Australian Constitution (s122) to overturn the Northern Territory's Rights of the Terminally Ill Act to today when politicians can't act fast enough getting behind assisted dying laws as a show of compassion and humanity, the right to die has come a long way. And so 2020 draws to a close with New Zealand finally passing a binding referendum that will see an End of Life Choice Act introduced in that country while Queensland makes Dying with Dignity an election promise. Meanwhile in Tasmania , politicians are falling over themselves as defenders of human rights at the end of life. This Doxit Podcast discusses the pros/ cons of a medicalised legislative model, in terms of who is served and who is excluded from eligibility, asking is this the best way forward?…

Exit Podcast No 15 - Physiology of a Good Death - why it works & how! 29:24

לפני 5 years29:24

29:24

In this Doxit Podcast we explore the physiology behind the good death. Taking the recent new Peaceful Pill eHandbook chapter on 'Death Physiology' as our starting point, we discuss the science behind the efficacy of some methods as distinct from others (eg. Nembutal over Opiates) and consider how each strategy discussed in the book falls into one of four categories of hypoxia: hypoxic, hypermic, ischemic & histotoxic. In understanding better how the different methods work on the body, there can be increased confidence in the efficacy of a method to provide a peaceful and reliable Exit at a time of one's choosing.…

The NuTech Conference was held on Saturday 26 September with a 100% online program, drawing speakers from the Netherlands, US, France, Australia, Scotland & more. NuTech is the only global group to explore the possibilities offered by new technologies in regard to a peaceful and reliable death, instead of doctor-administered voluntary assisted dying. This year's NuTech conference theme is the 'Dementia Dilemma'. Keynote speakers such as Marije de Haas , Bert Keize r and Michael Laufer explored the role of implanted switches as it relates to dementia patients (eg. The Plug). French investigative researcher Guillaume Coudray took on the Nitrite debate while Hugh Wynne will talk 'nitro foam frenzy'. US Medical Aid In Dying (MAID) physician, Lonny Shavelson, explained the science & logic behind the new D-DMA drug mixtures, Philip Nitschke unveiled Sarco X, Ted Ballo u & John Todd talked gases and Richard Avocet featured his R2D Debreather. Feminist activist Kinga Jelinsk a warned how to avoid reinventing the wheel, while Neal Nicol examined new technologies in bio body disposal.

Exit Podcast No 11 - Sarco X Euthanasia Capsule Arrives 46:00

לפני 5 years46:00

Sarco X is a 3D-printed euthanasia capsule that provides a peaceful and reliable death. First exhibited at the Amsterdam Funeral Fair in 2018 and then at Venice Design in 2019 and Cube Design Museum in 2020, the latest iteration of the Sarco - Sarco X - has recently undergone its final lab testing at Haarlem in the Netherlands and is now ready for use. The Sarco works by creating a hypoxic (low oxygen) environment. It is 3D-printed in order to ensure it is lawful (you can print your own). The plans will be made available in due course in The Peaceful Pill eHandbook . Sarco is fully portable so it can be taken to a location of one's choosing. It is beautiful to look at because dying - like living - can be an occasion for reflection, peace and even celebration. See more at Sarco.design…
