SYNOPSIS

Two millennia ago the Roman Stoic Seneca said, “where there is a will, there is a way out.” The search for a “way out” continues into modern times. Zelfdoding: The Rise of Helium in Self-Chosen Death identifies the recent discovery that inert gases, such as helium, are effective agents for self-chosen death. Zelfdoding explains the physiological effects of helium on the human body, the reasons for its recent popularity for suicide, and the challenges that it presents for death investigators.
