\u00a0<\/strong>In early 2021, Exit International launched a new Exit Citizens Science Initiative aimed at pooling the talent and creativity that exists within the Exit community in order to overcome the problem of the plastic Exit Bag.<\/p>\n

For many, many years Exit bags have constituted an important means of achieving a peaceful and reliable death by way of hypoxia.<\/p>\n

When used in a certain way, together with an inert gas such as nitrogen or helium, the low oxygen environment within the bag causes an almost immediate loss of consciousness, with a peaceful death following soon thereafter.<\/p>\n

However the plastic Exit bag has always brought with it aesthetic concerns.<\/p>\n

For example, in Janine Hosking’s 2004 documentary Mademoiselle and the Doctor<\/a>, Lisette Nigot discarded the idea of using a bag because she said she felt ‘like a piece of ham’. And that was not for her.<\/p>\n

This is to say that few people will want to put a plastic bag on their head, even fewer would want to die that way.<\/p>\n

Yet the Exit bag remains a very effective means of a peaceful and reliable death.<\/p>\n

In order to bypass the ‘yuk’ factor of the Exit bag, Exit’s new Citizen Science Initiative is aimed at finding a replacement.<\/p>\n

This project has come about now because of the rash of Covid-safe helmets<\/strong> that are now on sale in the US and around the world.<\/p>\n

These helmets have been designed to ensure a virus-free airflow into the helmet.<\/p>\n

However, with some modification, there is little reason why they cannot also be used to allow a positive flow of a gas such as nitrogen (rather than air).<\/p>\n

The positive flow flushes away the exhaled carbon dioxide, thereby creating a comfortable micro-environment of pure nitrogen (or helium).<\/p>\n

It is the fact that the enclosed environment will have neither oxygen nor carbon dioxide that will allow the peaceful death to take place.<\/p>\n
