Discussion If you had the option would you rather die by natural causes or ctb?

I have pondered this for me for a while. Given enough time i will most likely die from my injuries and condition. Part of me would like a natural death but the suffering i can do without. On the other hand CTB sure seems a bit scary/ I guess they ate both scary in their on way for different reasons. Natural death sure seems to be painful and drawn out. I'm watching my mum go through later stage dementia and my heart breaks for her although she is trying to be strong.

Natural causes. Preferably while sleeping, painless, peaceful, while I'm asleep in my bed. That's not only the most peaceful way to die it's also the the least painful for family, loved ones and friends bc it's natural and inevitable.

I have seen the last stages and indeed been there for some natural deaths. Sometimes it's an instant thing, a heart attack, or some other major, catastrophic physical event. Sometimes, a natural death is a long, drawn-out suffering where organs break down one after another and the person's mind goes. I would want to die quickly and as painlessly as possible. If there's a choice between 3 years of suffering and endless trips to the doctor and a quality of life that is abyssmal, I'll find a way to kill myself.

Depends. Is it a long, drawn out disease involving a lot of suffering? Or simply dying quietly in my sleep? Or maybe a sudden, unforseen accident? (Though I don't count that as a truly natural death.) Or a suicide attempt that goes wrong and takes ages to fall unconscious, let alone die? I need more details lol

Cardiac arrest. In my sleep. Now please.

In an ideal world obviously natural causes. The fact is this place is shit, so I'd rather take it into my own hands.

 

[JyeGuru]

Natural causes, but mainly only because it's less effort. I just want to not wake up one morning. Cease to exist. CTB is just a means of accelerating that process for me so I can choose the timing.

I'd rather die on my own terms if it's up to me, really wish I had access to some peaceful poison or instant suicide pill, it'd be such a relief having the option to just fall into an eternal, dreamless sleep where all is finally forgotten about.

Me too!

I'd like to live out a natural life, but when you get really sick very young, you see reality for what it is.

When the time is right, when it all becomes unbearable, I'll make a cup of strong, hot poison hemlock tea, and take a nap.. gentle, easy, quick...

natural death I guess. Everyday, I hope some psycho just come up to me and kill me.

Whichever is the most peaceful and quick. I reckon that may be suicide unless you're very lucky. I suppose natural death would be less of a shock to loved ones but, I don't like how drawn out it often is. I don't fancy experiencing anything to do with the aging process in fact. Even stuff that won't kill you- like arthritis is painful. Life's hard enough as it is without pain on top.
