All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.

There's no doubt I expect to die in prison.

The public has no power. The government knows I'm not a criminal. The parole board knows I'm not a criminal. The judge knows I'm not a criminal.

[Persons] who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union [have] the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased... full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.

All the big powers... they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.

Listen, when you take my liberty away, you've taken away more-something more precious than life. I mean, what good is a life without liberty? Huh? None.

My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
