EUTHANASIA PREVENTION COALITION DEMANDS 'EXIT BAG' INVESTIGATION
TORONTO, July 11, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Following reports of a high-profile murder case which centers around a Canadian woman involved in the manufacture of a suicide device called the "Exit Bag", the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) has demanded an investigation into the production and distribution of the device in Canada. The Exit Bag, produced by the Right to Die Society of Canada is a suicide bag that is made of heavy-duty plastic that has been designed for optimum effectiveness in killing persons who wear the bag which is distributed with an instruction booklet entitled: The Art & Science of Suicide.
In September 2001, EPC collected and disseminated information concerning the Right to Die Society of Canada’s involvement in producing and distributing the Exit Bag on a world-wide basis. All the information was sent to the RCMP with a formal letter requesting that an investigation be launched into the production and distribution of the Exit Bag in Canada. No response was ever received.
In order to draw attention to the illegal activity, in October 2001, EPC produced a 10 minute video concerning the Exit Bag. In December copies were sent to members of parliament, as well as the Solicitor General and the Department of Justice. Minimal response was received. On January 15, 2002 EPC took part in a one hour call-in television show concerning the Exit Bag. On the show Ruth von Fuchs from the Toronto chapter of the Right to Die Society of Canada candidly spoke of the Exit Bag.
In a release yesterday, EPC asked Canadian legal authorities why the production and distribution of the Exit Bag by the Right to Die Society of Canada has not been stopped. EPC demands that the current laws be enforced in order to protect every Canadian and that the full weight of the law be used to stop the death activists from killing or pressuring others to kill themselves.
