Answer by Ro
A retired Norwegian physician, Christian Sandsdalen, was found guilty of wilful murder in 2000. He admitted giving an overdose of morphine to a woman chronically ill after 20 years with MS who begged for his help. It cost him his medical license but he was not sent to prison. He appealed the case right up to the Supreme Court and lost every time. Dr. Sandsdalen died at 82 and his funeral was packed with Norway’s dignitaries, which is consistent with the support always given by intellectuals to euthanasia.
Morphine can come in serveral forms, a tablets that can be crushed and injected, or a vile that is a liquid and then injected, l have included some searches for you on the subjects.

Answer by Deep Thinker
Read about Dr. Jack and his “death machine”. It is very interesting. Morphine is used in a lot of cases especially in Hospice Houses around the U.S.

Kevorkian started advertising in Detroit newspapers in 1987 as a physician consultant for “death counseling.” In 1991 the State of Michigan revoked Kevorkian’s medical license and made it clear that given his actions, he was no longer permitted to practice medicine or to work with patients. Between 1990 and 1998, Kevorkian assisted in the deaths of nearly one hundred terminally ill people, according to his lawyer Geoffrey Fieger. In each of the above mentioned cases, the individuals themselves allegedly took the final action which resulted in their own deaths. Kevorkian allegedly assisted only by attaching the individual to a euthanasia device that he had made. The individual then pushed a button which released the drugs or chemicals that would end his or her own life. Two deaths were assisted by means of a device which delivered the euthanizing drugs mechanically through an IV. Kevorkian called it a “Thanatron” (death machine). Other people were assisted by a device which employed a gas mask fed by a canister of carbon monoxide which was called “Mercitron” (mercy machine). This became necessary because Kevorkian’s medical license had been revoked after the first two deaths, and he could no longer have legal access to the substances required for the “Thanatron”.

Question by Haylie B: Beat a drug addiction?
I am a 24 year old female and I go out every weekend to trance events and also in my local town.

When I go out I take a lot of drugs. Cocaine mostly, pills, MDMA, ketamine, speed, methadrone etc.

I am not ‘addicted’ to any particular drugs, in the week I can take it or leave it but at the weekend I feel like I NEED to take something in order to have a good time. Especially at trance events where I know I’ll be dancing for 7-8hours and all my friends will be on pills.

I want to stop doing drugs full stop but don’t want to go to my GP and ‘talking to Frank’ just isn’t going to cut it. I know they will just tell me the harm I’m causing myself (which will not work).

Has anyone overcome this by themselves?
