This should be available in Witherspoons - would spread great happiness -

What would you like in your concoction? I'd like the legendary Ardbeg Very Young - the undertaker would have a job getting the silly grin off my face...

Should say Guinness but will go for Poteen in these circumstances,and none of the woosy legal stuff.

I think I would prefer some KCN and get it over with.

I think I`ll stick to the Caiprinhas in Sao Paulo. At least I know I`m going to wake up in the morning.

I know people who have given this - the effect is to allow the terminal patient to speak to the family with clarity and without pain, before passing on.

They could never get away with it these days....

KCn is a bit quick, and doesn't make a pretty corpse.

[Mamyalynne]

I too have experienced people being given Bromptons and the memories are sad ones, I will pass on this occasion.

[HowardKennitby]

//a pretty corpse//

now there's a phrase to ponder over.

[venator]

Cyanide poisoning isn't nice

[HowardKennitby]

but, as you say, it is quick.

[venator]

Sorry, mamalynne, it was always given in sad circumstances, but it was merciful, and allowed the patient a time of clarity to speak to the family

[Mamyalynne]

I know, don't be sorry to me.

howard - i used to do gold electroplating with cyanide solutions. The only symptom of cyanide poisoning is death!

We had an adrenalin syringe on the wall, with instructions for a direct heart injection.

We all used to laugh something wicked.....
