New Snippet Recording
This week the March Snippet titled ‘Does Nembutal Cause Drowning’ is published as the May Update to the online Peaceful Pill eHandbook.
The topic of this Snippet comes from the increasing body of scholarship that describes pulmonary edema in 84% of the autopsies of prisoners who have been executed using pentobarbital (Nembutal).
Anesthesiologist/ researcher Dr Joel Zivot argues that ‘the fluid is filling into the lungs and causing that terrible, uncomfortable drowning and choking sensation and that is the kind of death that is occurring in the setting of lethal injection’.
Yet no one in the right to die movement has any idea what Dr Zivot is referring to. This Snippet attempts to unpack what is happening here.
