Doxit Podcast – Physiology of Death or ‘why some drugs work better than others …’
This week’s Doxit Podcast focuses on the physiology of the good death.
Taking the recent new Peaceful Pill eHandbook chapter on ‘Death Physiology’ as our starting point, we discuss the science behind the efficacy of some methods as distinct from others (eg. Nembutal over Opiates) and consider how each strategy discussed in the book falls into one of four categories of hypoxia:
- hypoxic
- hypermic
- ischemic &
- histotoxic.
In understanding better how the different methods work on the body, there can be increased confidence in the efficacy of a method to provide a peaceful and reliable Exit at a time of one’s choosing.
