What I don't understand is that as euthanasia is legal in several US States, why don't they use whatever they use?
Or even the stuff that they use to put dogs to sleep.
Alternatively it would be a good excuse to test new chemical weaponsComment

You'd think a gradually-increasing dose of intravenous smack would do it. Seems to see off enough junkies/singers/actors in a humane, even pleasurable way.

Oh, and LSD was legal when Huxley died, on 22 November 1963 - it wasn't made illegal in the USA until 1966, IIRC. Also, it in no way contributed to his death: there is no known lethal dose of LSD, nor any evidence that it has any notable physiological effects at all, never mind harmful ones. Huxley knew he was on the verge of dying when he requested it. It "eased his passing" by helping him to fully enjoy his last few hours, not by hastening it.Comment
