Victoria, B.C. Police are investigating John Hofsess and the Right to
Die Society of Canada for possible violations of the Canadian Criminal
Code.

It stems from the public marketing of an "Exit Bag", a plastic bag
being sold for $30 - instructions cost a further $10.

Law enforcment officials say that this possibly goes beyong merely
providing information, by providing the actual materials as well.

Perhaps Mr. Hofsess will also sell prepackaged nooses as well...maybe
even silver bullets?

Correct me if I am wrong, but does not someone have to put the bag on
someone after they have taken their overdose of pills?  And does that
not constitute murder?

Among the most outspoke critics of the bag has been Dying with
Dignity, a pro-euthanasia group based out of Toronto.    They called
the bag  "abhorrent and undignified".

New readers may not be aware that the man at the center of this new
controversy, John Hofsess, was taken to task for forging the signature
of Sue Rodriguez, a Canadian right to die activist (who had ALS), on a
letter to the editor of the Vancouver Sun.  Sue then cut all ties to
Mr. Hofsess because of the forgery. This all took place early in 1993.

The bag is not your typical Safeway Supermarket special, but rather
large and includes Velcro strips.

Could Mr. Hofsess be the new "Man from SAD" (rather than the Man from
GLAD?)
