Yeah- I do understand the concern to either do multiple methods simultaneously- or, at least have them prepared in case the first one fails.
I just don't know how practical that is though. Especially with SN where the side effects seem like they can be pretty debhilitating. I imagine adding other methods could just increase that sense of panic/ risk of vomiting and possibly make failure even more likely.
Seeing as shortness of breath is a common side effect of SN- I imagine other methods which also cause difficulties breathing could be stressful- like hanging or CO. I mean- if the person passes out quickly enough- I guess that's good. What if they don't though? What if they pass out because of the CO and vomit the SN but don't/can't take the second glass? I guess the CO might then be enough. I don't know how easy that one is to fail.
I think there's also the real chance of dizziness, disorientation and passing out after taking SN- so I'm not sure how capable anyone would be to start doing other methods. I guess they could set stuff up and then swig the SN but yeah- maybe higher risk of vomiting and possibly more panic as multiple side effects kick in- so- greater sense of trying to abort perhaps. I don't know.
I think that's the 'danger' with any method though- or multiple methods. If additional actions are required- like drinking more SN- becoming unconscious wouldn't be good if there isn't enough of the substance to complete. It's all such a worry really.
I've thought about rigging up a noose if SN failed- to do it after but, I just can't see myself having the guts for hanging. Drinking SN then jumping also seems horrible to me. Knowing my luck, the fall wouldn't do it and I'd drown in pain.
I have this awful feeling I'm going to have to stick with SN alone. Follow the protocol. Maybe have 2 drinks mixed and the rest still sealed up- to go for it again another time if I mess up- and hope for the best. I agree though- it's deeply troubling. I want to get it right first time though. I do understand the appeal of having multiple options.
