Suicide is not illegal there, although assisted suicide is illegal. Before my death, if I have the luxury of anticipating it while still compos mentis, I hope to persuade a medical examiner to have a representative present at my suicide and ready to pronounce death and waive autopsy, with our perfusion team on hand. ...snip That's a GREAT plan. I have always associated suicide with too great a risk of autopsy. Some Cryonet msgs earlier spoke of the method you mention above and it is in my to-do list to follow up on how to commit suicide (should the need arise) without autopsy. Best of luck in delaying that plan as long as possible! Brook Norton Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13633
