It has been translated into 12 languages. The original English language version is in its third edition. In 2000, Derek Humphry recorded a VHS video version of the information in the book; a DVD version and a Kindle version were released in 2006 and 2011, respectively. A 4th edition, Final Exit 2020, was released as an ebook. The ethicist Peter Singer included it on a list of his top ten books in The Guardian. It has been alleged that members of the Heaven's Gate cult used information from Humphry's book in order to commit mass suicide.
