In response to feedback from programmers in the technical community, as well as political satire from some whose votes will determine the fate of the NT RTI Act, we have agreed to include the version of the Deliverance software actually used by the people who have made use of the Act, as well as the existing colourised demonstration version previously available from this site.

The PC Version zipfile now contains both versions of the program, and a MS Word 6 document which explains our reasons for using a computer, rather than the more reliable expedient of a mechanical switch, which need be pressed only once, to achieve the objective desired by the patient.

The practical purpose of the programme is to enable the dying be be the agent of their self-determined will, rather than a subject, or object, acted upon by a doctor. We wanted as far as possible to allow the patient to be free from medical intervention by the doctor, and to allow the patient's loved ones rather than the doctor to occupy their personal space at the end of their lives.

The major objective of the programme is to draw attention to the rights of the terminally ill and dying and to encourage discussion of the issues surrounding personal and public attitudes towards death and dying.
