Any thoughts, ideas, info, resources, previous discussions, on inducing terminal illness in oneself?

[HopefulButPrepared]

I just wondered if this has ever really been considered, researched, discussed, at length by anyone, ever?!

If I could induce terminal cancer somehow, I would SOOO do it.

I know that it's hard to actually define this, because essentially, you ARE inducing a 'terminal illness' by taking N for example, or with amitriptyline, you're inducing a heart attack, which is a terminal illness - but you know what I mean; a terminal illness someone might die of over a few weeks, months, or possibly a few years.

It would just be SOOO relieving to be told you have no choice, you're going to die, then you can tell all family and friends, and then when you CTB, they will understand completely, and if you chose a fairly peaceful method, they would even be glad you didn't lie in a hospice for 3 weeks, slowly wasting away to skin and bone, until your organs fail.

Any thoughts, ideas, research, previous discussions, anyone can contribute? Or is this just fantasy bullshit?!

Hypoxia, cardiac arrest, etc. aren't terminal illnesses, but conditions. If you want to induce terminal illness walk into a heavy radiated area (kind of difficult since the only good one coming to mind is Chernobyl and due to war Ukraine is off limits for now) or smoke high numbers of cigarettes for the next 20-30 years.

tl;dr no you can't + fantasy bullshit

20 - 30 years would take me into my 60's or 70's, which is what I'm trying to avoid! It's crazy how cancer is so common, and scares almost everyone, but is hard to induce in oneself, at least quickly!

I have never heard of anyone trying to do this. It sounds like it would be very difficult. It seems as though in this life many people who want to live die from terminal illness and yet people who want to die are stuck here and they have to find a way to do it themselves. Life is unfair like that.

I feel like if there was ways to do this, then you would hear of suicidal people dying from terminal illnesses and it would be included in method resources, but I think that to me it is a fantasy. Dying from an illness does sound like a horrible way to go, but it is understandable why people would want to die from one as after all we live in a world where ctb is so difficult.

I assumed it wouldn't be possible - I just thought I'd ask if anyone had given it serious thought - for me, it would just be a way to justify my CTB to everyone around me, and myself - I would feel no guilt, because dying of an overdose is a better way to go than wasting away in a hospice - I doubt I'd feel any SI, because I'm going to die of the terminal illness anyway, so what would be the point in SI?! It would just solve all those niggling things that stop most people taking the leap, namely guilt and SI!

Cancer is mostly an old age disease. If you're so desperate drive a car into a concrete wall at high speed. There's multiple other reliable methods of suicide.

I doubt that's a reliable CTB method, at least as reliable as I'm looking for!
