Legal problems set aside, "shooting a fatal dose of moprhine and heparin"
is a thinkably bad idea medically. If you're planning to die anytime soon,
consider helpful discussions in the cryonet archives (dying in hospice
setting while in presence of the doctor by refusing fluids would come to
mind).

I'm hoping for legal euthanasia by the time I need it.</lfp>
