Well, my friends, as you know, it's extremely difficult to get barbiturate drugs ...
... for self-deliverance from a terminal illness ...
... and they only work really well when injected, and that's even more difficult.
Now, in recent times, we have developed a method of ending your life peacefully, painlessly ...
... and not breaking the law and not requiring a doctor.
Now, this is the Helium Method.
If you make a personal decision to die in this way ...
... here is the equipment and the bits and pieces that you need to carry this out.
And remember, practice beforehand with dummy runs.
This is what you need if you choose this form of self-deliverance.
Two tanks of helium gas purchased from a toy store or a party store.
You remove the nozzles from the tanks with the little wrench.
You need a plastic bag of about this size.
You need four feet of vinyl tubing, 1/2 inch outside diameter, 3/8 inch inner diameter.
You need a plastic T-junction to join it together ...
... and the two tanks are tapped in together.
The piping runs into the plastic bag ...
... and you have everything ready to make your first practice.
Practice without turning the gas on, of course.
You have to go to a toy store or a party celebration store ...
... and purchase kits for inflating the party balloons.
These are tanks of helium, which is a non-flammable, non-explosive inert gas.
It is only dangerous in an enclosed space, like I'm going to demonstrate.
It is not dangerous in the general area.
It disperses extremely quickly in the air and is not dangerous.
Otherwise, how could you let children blow up balloons with it?
You have two tanks of this, and each tank has a nozzle on it for children to blow up the balloons.
You have to take this nozzle off. You need a wrench to just loosen it ...
... and then it becomes finger-loose, and you remove each nozzle ...
... and put them away. They have ceased to be of any use.
This point, you take your vinyl tubing and connect it with this T-valve, or T-junction.
You firmly put one side onto there ...
... the other side onto here ...
... and your kit is ready.
You make sure that everything is secure and fits well.
Take your time and practice this in advance.
Don't do it at the crucial moment when ending life.
Then, say your important goodbyes to people.
Make sure in your own mind that this is what you want, to bring a swift end to your life ...
... because of the suffering that you are enduring here ...
... and begin with the next move.
You have the plastic bag.
Now, let me point out helium gas or any inert gas is only deadly in a confined space.
It drives the oxygen out of your brain, and you become brain damaged.
A human brain cannot live without oxygen. The helium expels the oxygen from your brain.
This is not death by suffocation. This is death by severe, fatal brain damage.
So if you are ready to leave this world ...
... your next move is to put the bag on your head like this, over your forehead and back of the head.
Then it is advisable to squeeze the natural air out of the bag.
You got what you might call a "shower cap" appearance.
The tank is running up into it.
And at the moment you are ready to die, if that is still the decision ...
... you exhale as much air out as you can ...
... and you turn the tanks on.
It must be you who turns the tanks on to keep within the law.
Now, I'm going to turn them off because I don't wish this to be fatal, but I'll show you what you do next.
But I have turned the helium off for my own protection, and I'm going to release the helium.
But whatever helium in that bag, you would then ...
... and coma will come within seconds.
Death will take place within three to five minutes at the most.
It's quick, and fast, and painless, and you are the person who has done it.
It is your own responsibility because you have done this, and nobody else has assisted your suicide.
If you are making your own kit for this form of self-deliverance ...
... one way to hold the plastic bag onto the neck in a secure fashion ...
... is to purchase a sweatband from a sport store.
Thus.
Put the sweatband down over the neck.
Put the plastic bag ...
... this plastic bag without the ribbon on.
And put the plastic bag held in position by the sweatband.
Let me point out that was has been done here and what you might choose to do ...
... is entirely your own responsibility.
It is not the responsibility of the manufacturers of the tanks or the tubing ...
... or anybody involved in this.
Life is a personal responsibility.
Suicide is a personal decision ...
... personal self-determination, and you must take the accounting for that.
