        Well, first you have to have a terminal illness. Then you have to get 2 doctors to sign off on the diagnosis. Then you get a mental evaluation declaring you fit to make the decision. Then you get a doctor to prescribe a fatal prescription.

        But it’s on you to actually swallow the pills.

          So they get someone to give them permission?

          No wonder fentanyl is so popular.
