Welcome to Fast Access - possibly the world's largest resource of original material on voluntary euthanasia, assisted suicide, self-deliverance,   living wills (advance declarations to enable you to refuse unwanted life-prolonging treatment) and related death and dying subject matter.

Many groups campaign for legal change. (Bills for voluntary euthanasia have been proposed since 1935.) Such laws, if passed, will help future generations. But what about people living NOW? People facing an unknown future and without the means to choose the time and manner of their dying.

EXIT's RESEARCH HELPS PEOPLE NOW.

This site contains hundreds of pages of material explaining the arguments for and against euthanasia. It is promoted by Exit (the Scottish Voluntary Euthanasia Society), which campaigns for a change in British law to promote individual patient choice, but prioritizes research into self-deliverance, self-euthanasia, to empower people who will not live long enough to see the law changed. People who, in the absence of lawful assistance, seek peaceful and dignified methods of self-euthanasia within the law.

You can also find information or links on here to our authoritative works on self-deliverance, including Departing Drugs, Beyond Final Exit, Five Last Acts II and The Exit Path.

editions of our books:
(Five Last Acts II: over 400 pages)
(Five Last Acts – The Exit Path: over 800 pages)

The Exit Path is the largest resource in print. Full coverage of NITROGEN, HELIUM, COMPRESSIONS, DRUGS, REFUSAL OF FOOD AND DRINK AND 'FRINGE' METHODS.

§ Well-researched info on self-deliverance with supporting documentation


§ A well-researched bill on PAS with detailed arguments


§ A first-rate 24+ page colour print magazine, with academic and easy-read articles


§ Leading living will documents, based on research rather than opinion


§ A large database of medical, legal and ethical journal quotations for students


§ Leading academic opinion and advice on medical, legal and ethical aspects of v.e.


§ Multilingual support

"Every one of us has an interest in our own death: a change in the law could increase our options."
