The Dutch Supreme Court Judge Huib Drion was the first person in the world to call openly for the introduction of a pill that would provide a peaceful, pain-free death at a time of a person's individual choosing - a pill that is taken orally and available to "most" people.

To date, this project has led to a pill being developed from nicotine and chlorinated alcohol, but with testing so problematic, laboratory trials are set to continue into the foreseeable future.
