Dr. Matthew Dor?:

It is also a lot easier to receive an injection than to swallow a large amount of fluid. There is a complication rate of about 15% in an old paper from the 1990s where people took assisted suicide by swallowing it rather than a euthanasia injection. They vomited and there were prolonged deaths. In some cases it was very unclear what happened. I agree with Professor Watson that an injection is an easier treatment.

It is interesting that Senator Mullen referred to Oregon, which has only assisted suicide, as being less severe. I do not understand this but the normal assisted suicide rate has gone up by a third in Oregon and in the other places it certainly has not gone down, it has stayed the same. I do not know how to get my head around those.
