Most peaceful way to die?

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I think the most peaceful way to die would be by carbon monoxide poisoning. You don't notice the gas, it makes you dizzy and then you die. Is there any "softer" way than this even possible?

It seems peaceful but it's harder to achieve than the accidentals deaths seem to suggest. And it's not peaceful for people who are co2 retentive due to pulmonary disorders.

If I remember correctly from an instruction I read online, you need a small, airtight room and a charcoal grill. I didn't know people might have problems with CO2 though. Also there should be careful preparation since you could accidentally hurt others.

Apparently getting the concentration of co high enough isn't easy; the coals burn out too fast, it gets uncomfortably hot, affordable co meters max out way below the target levels, etc.

I'm just going by posts I've read here by people who tried it. I know that in Asia it's not an uncommon way to exit, so it is plainly doable, but it takes proper preparation.

None of which has any bearing on whether or not it's peaceful.

Mental preparation and survival instinct is a huge factor you don't seem to be taking account of. Physical pain isn't the only thing involved when it comes to peaceful death. N is probably truly the most peaceful way though. It's really just like a sleeping pill. You get drowsy, fall asleep, and then never wake up. Personally I could never do CO poisoning. Can you just imagine sitting there, trying to maintain the intention to CTB, through the SI, all while having the power to stop it at any time?

Wait till winter, down some pills and booze, just enough to knock you clean out and succom to the cold.

Apparently you need 12,800 ppm (1.28%), (12.8‰) concentration (Wikipedia) in order to have "Unconsciousness after 2–3 breaths. Death in less than three minutes.", which seems hard to achieve I guess?
