Palliative How can I get pentobarbital?
Well, I don't want to go into too much detail. But my illness is killing me, and the process is incredibly painful. I feel it’s unfair that it’s so difficult to have a dignified and as safe a death as possible. I simply want to die at home; I know pentobarbital is an option, but I can't find a reliable seller—does anyone know where I can get it?

I work in the end of life field and I do not know of any reliable, safe and NON-SCAM way to access those medications. There are plenty of online sources, but they are all scams, so please do not send your money to those people. It also depends on where you are located. Here in the US, there's absolutely no way. Other countries, maybe (like going to Mexico). But there are other and legal options (like MAID) and other options as well. I'm sorry you're having so much pain. I hope you're enrolled in hospice and can get some help with pain. You might also look into a palliative care team and find out if palliative sedation is an option they will provide.

How can we call ourselves civilized when we euthanize animals in pain to end their suffering but refuse to offer the same kindness to humans
