<p>Many groups campaign for legal change. (Bills for
voluntary euthanasia have been proposed since 1935.)
Such laws, if passed, will help future generations. But
what about people living NOW? People facing an unknown
future and without the means to choose the time and
manner of their dying.</p>
<p>EXIT's RESEARCH IS ABOUT THE PRESENT <b>NOW</b>.</p>
<i>Our work can be found in legal reference manuals (such as LexisNexis) and in the British Medical Journal. Our lay-publications for responsible adults are sold on Amazon and deal with scientific material on euthanasia, assisted suicide and living wills. However, it is not a one-sided approach: our background also includes academia, legal training, and certification in suicide prevention and palliative care. <br>We are not connected with the Australian society called "Exit International". </i><br>
<p><font face="century"><font style="font-size: 14pt"
size="4">This site contains hundreds of pages of
material explaining the arguments for and against
euthanasia. It was produced by <b>Exit</b> (the original Exit, also called the
Scottish Voluntary Euthanasia Society), which
agrees that a change in the law is desirable to promote and protect
individual patient choice; and prioritizes research
into self-deliverance, self-euthanasia, to empower
people who will not live long enough to see the law
changed. People who, in the absence of lawful
assistance, seek peaceful and dignified methods of <font
