What do you think that the chances are that it will kill me?

I mean, it's a very, very high probability.

How many people have you sent it to in the UK?

It will be literally in the hundreds.

That's the voice of a man who is selling a poison to young vulnerable people in this country,

which they're using to end their lives.

There is just a complete lack of willingness to look at this as it should be looked at,

and people are dying because of that.

I'm James Beale, the social affairs editor at the Times.

This is a story which begins with the suicide of a British university student.

That's the thing that I'm still trying to accept that I can't have in that.

I don't think he realised how loved he was.

It leads me to a website and ultimately a car park in Canada to confront the man behind it.

You're assisting suicide, are you not?

Well, I'm not assisting anything. I'm selling the product, right?

But you know what people are using that product for.

I try to find out if he could be prosecuted here in the UK for what he's doing.

In so many of these cases, you just need a motivated law enforcer,

and I hope that even this conversation could be a starting point.

I don't want other people to have to go through this.

I just can't believe we live in a world where that just hasn't been shut down.

Poison, a new three-part podcast begins here tomorrow on Stories of Our Times.
