Hailed in 2010 as the most complete source available, Five Last Acts II details options and methods for rational suicide in the event of unbearable and unrelievable suffering. Bringing reassurance, knowledge and hope, and the strength to face an uncertain future.(Please note a 2015 version is now available.)Even with modern technology, not all ends are good ones. Although palliative care continues to make great strides, the final hours or days of some people are so difficult that they elect to take matters into their own hands and end things sooner rather than later. Once that decision is taken, lack of knowledge, planning or preparation can result in even greater suffering.Five Last Acts collects the wisdom of multi-disciplinary research, workshops and developments worldwide in a major new volume. The body of the work is written in easy-to-understand language to offer a practical guide for every reader. Technical explanations are reserved for the appendix. Five Last Acts provides the reliable options for the last act in your own play.Feedback on the first edition: "I have just finished reading your most excellent book, Five Last Acts; it is so well-researched, so informative, so clear, that it leads me to ask this question: which rational person would not want to obtain a copy of this book as an insurance policy against an uncertain future?"Chris GoodwinThe new edition of Five Last Acts is completely revised and expanded, giving even clearer insights and the most comprehensive guidance on self-deliverance worldwide.
