If someone is into this, maybe the can request the studies on reddit.com/r/scholar

Not a recommended method without more research.

Painful but brief? Self administration seems like it may be an issue though, if repeated, sustained shocks are required. I've read of defibrillator pain being likened to "a kick in the chest by a mule". Having sustained accidental shock with pretty substantial residential voltage I don't know if it's something I could do willfully, cuz that shit sucked

Basically, if you have medical knowledge and know what not to do, then you also know what to do to kill.
But 1 shock won´t do the job. It's definitely not a peaceful, painless death.

I don't think this is easy, painless and peaceful. Just my opinion.

Electric current is dangerous and can kill, but most of the time it doesn't kill instantly rather it causes severe injuries.

Yeah, I guess the "if" part was pretty dumb, since no way one hit of a defib is going to put you under, barring some kind of preexisting heart condition maybe

There would be no anesthesia, but a cardiac arrest or at least cardiac arrhythmia would be the result. But there are less painful and more reliable methods to cause a cardiac arrest.

Why do people feel the need to be creative beyond any reason, when it comes to catching the bus. This sounds worse than almost any tried and tested method, save some like stabbing and immolation.
