Bleeding to death (aka exsanguination, which means severe loss of blood) is a very difficult method to get to work- the movies make it look like a reliable method, but it is very difficult to get this to work in real life. According to a paper from Harvard called "Lethality of Suicide Methods" cutting has a success rate of 1.2%, which is the lowest of all methods studied in this paper. I think a person needs to know anatomy very well or just get really lucky to get this to work, since the odds of this working are 1 in 83 - this is based on attempts in the u.s. from 1989 to 1997. It is easy to find this paper if you search for this online- in case you want to see more details. I am saying this not to discourage you but to help you to avoid a failed attempt, which can lead to involuntary hospitalization, which most people don't want. I agree that it is probably not too painful if you can get it to work, it's just not that easy to do this. Best of luck, though, I've been researching for a while and I still not certain of a method, though I have narrowed it down some. It is against the rules here to "encourage acts", which seems to include recommending methods, so I wish you the best of luck for finding peace however you may choose.
Well I think she means, for example it you cut open an arftery the cut will hurt but the bleeding won't and since it is usually fast then there really isn't much pain with this method compared to other methods- all of which is probably true if you are among the 1.5% who really cut open a major arery like the carotid, which is very difficult to do, and only 1 in 83 attempts works in the U.S. as an average.
Its not against rules to "encourage acts" and especially sharing methods has its own mega thread, I been on this site nearly since its beginning and "community standards" people work their asses trying to convince everyone that this site breaks laws/kills people which have always been a problem that the adminstrator would rather avoid least measures be taken against it but it stands for free choice on practice.
Hello- I appreciate your feedback, the "encouraging acts" part of the rules and Info section on this site can be a bit confusing as far as how to implement it, but here is a copy of this just for reference:
There is no rule against sharing methods and if so then methods mega thread is a rule violation.
Yes it is not clear exactly what is meant by encouragiing acts- obviously you don't want to push someone in a direction they are uncertain of.
It's fine to reccomend methods as long as you don't pressure someone to kill themself. We're just trying to help each other to make a decision, whatever it may be.
How much pain do the blood donations inflict aside of a sting of a needle and free cookies?
Hmm, this is an interesting way to think about it. About 5 continuous blood donations are required for enough blood loss for death. My last blood donation only took four minutes. If one could reliably find a vein and begin a blood draw on themselves, I wonder how painful it would be to just... keep going? I would think that as your blood pressure drops and your veins constrict it would become more and more difficult to maintain blood flow.
I think it wouyld get tougher like you described- I think a main artery is needed.
The denial sarcasm you excessively&repeatedly use prevents me of taking your ignorance seriously.
Nurses and doctors often have access to powerful anesthetics like succinylcholine which seems like to easiet way to ctb, but this is impossible for an everyday person to aquire, and certainly it would be illegal. On Forensic Files this has been used for some murders that happened very quickly and quietly. Dr Harold Shipman was a serial killer who killed an estimated 250 people by injusting them with overdoses of powerful prescription opiates such as pethedine. Interestingly he died by hanging himself in his jail cell.
Succinylcholine is actually not an anesthetic but a paralytic. It is actually a terrible way to CTB, and when it happens in hospitals accidentally, its a huge problem. People are awake but they cant move a muscle. It would be a very traumatic last minutes.
Interesting- thanks- I was just going on what I remembered from the show and they said it was instant, I'm pretty sure. Thanks for the info. Certain prescription opiods sound better- but it's just a theory for most people, mos people could never get access to these.
I was trying to be charitable to your post. English is not your first language so I don't wanna be a d*ck.
It's harder to pierce your skull with a knife than you think it is.
Also if you miss the brain stem,you will not die.Even with shotgun can miss the target.
I think if a person knows what they are doing a shotgun can blow most of your head off- a very gruesome death- but I would never use it because I have never shot s shotgun.
