She also expressed concern about being allowed to travel to Mexico for visits
with an adopted son who lives there.
The San Diego County district attorney, who was a party to the plea
settlement, agreed not to prosecute Ms Hydorn for her role in any of the six
additional known deaths that occurred in California.
But the federal judge who sentenced Ms Hydorn in San Diego rendered a finding
that her suicide kit business was illegal under California law.
Hydorn was prosecuted under the US tax code because “the sale of suicide
kits is not a violation of federal law,” assistant US Attorney Peter
Mazza said after the sentencing.
“This case was never about the position that someone has the right to end
their own life. This was about her indiscriminate sale of kits to anyone who
wrote her a check.”
Ms Hydorn has said her product was intended to help terminally ill people end
their lives with dignity at home. But she acknowledged selling the kits
without performing background checks or screening individuals who ordered
the apparatus.
Prosecutors said Ms Hydorn had no way of knowing whether her customers
actually suffered from incurable, fatal illnesses or were merely depressed,
or whether they were adults or minors.
The kits, priced at $60 each including instructions and shipping, consisted of
a plastic hood that closed around the neck, and tubing that connected the
hood to a tank of gas.
Ms Hydorn said she had sold her product for the past 20 years under the brand
name GLADD, which stands for Glorious Life And Dignified Death, though she
insisted she made little money from the enterprise. The government estimated
she grossed $40,000 from the sales.
As part of her plea deal, Ms Hydorn agreed to pay more than $25,000 in back
taxes owed to the Internal Revenue Service.
Ms Hydorn has said her interest in helping the terminally ill stemmed from the
loss of her husband to colon cancer in 1977.
On Monday after the hearing, she recounted how her spouse was tied down to his
hospital bed with restraints at the end of his life.
“All he could say was, ‘Home, home.’ He wanted to go home, and I couldn’t
take him. That’s how we got here,” she said.
