What is rational self-deliverance?

Rational self-deliverance using inert gas is a safe and comfortable method available to individuals who wish to end their own lives in a peaceful and painless manner. This method is done without encouragement or assistance from any person or organization. This workshop is strictly informational. Hemlock Society of San Diego and Final Exit Network do not encourage or promote any specific course of action or end of life choice. We ask that attendees have no plans to end their life in the near future.
