Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so why this segment?!!

I recently saw a show in PBS about assisted suicide and discovered that helium is the tool of choice by a national group that advocates for and assists with voluntary suicides for people with chronic illness. Since this is currently illegal I wonder if people think helium sales should be regulated?

I love that you inhaled the helium. Hilarious.

but I probably won't do it again either.

Is helium expensive? Is there a market for helium?

Question for the panel: does most of our supply of the helium-3 isotope come from well drilling or from nuclear weapons and reactors?
