Reliability-Peacefulness Test
The Exit Reliability-Peacefulness Test is applied to each end of life method outlined in the Peaceful Pill eHandbook.
Many end of life options are discussed in this book and it can be a daunting project trying to distinguish or compare the relative advantages or shortcomings of one over the other.
To simplify the process, we have developed a simple rating system that can be applied to all end of life methods.
We call this the Reliability & Peacefulness Test – the ‘Exit RP Test’.
Primary Criteria
The ‘Exit RP Test’ provides a benchmark against which all end of life options can be considered.
The values addressed by the test came to Exit’s attention through specific research on the notion of a Peaceful Pill and also through personal accounts and anecdotes over the past decade.
This feedback continues to identify two principal factors in people’s preferences for end of life methods. These factors are ‘Reliability’ and ‘Peacefulness.’
In the RP Test, Reliability and Peacefulness are each given a score of 1 to 10.
The higher the number, the more reliable and peaceful the method in question.
For example, Nembutal achieves a high overall score, hanging a very low score.
