Pricing Gouging in Legal Assisted Suicide Drugs

The sole manufacturer of Seconal, the preferred medication, has jacked the price to $3,000 for a drug that’s as cheap as aspirin to make. Just like with Ozempic, a compounding pharmacy can whip up a batch for a much lower cost (i.e., $400.)

Looks like the pharmaceutical industry is going to get their last few licks in, even as you make the “Final Exit”. {{ LOL }}

You wonder how many pills in a bottle. Probably no more than a dozen. Certainly not hundreds. Maybe hundreds in bottles sold to pharmacies.

And how much goes for legal liabilities in the case of suicide drugs. Imagine the package inserts. Hundreds of pages from ChatGpt.

Also note the contrast. Companies unwilling to allow use of their drugs for capital punishment. But assisted suicide is ok if its profitable enough and legal in your state.
