Method painless ctb ranking

[Resinn66]

I thought I'd rank the less painful methods more or less by seeing how many users ask this question

N
Night night
Exit bag
Carbon Monoxide
Partial hanging
frostbite?
SN
Cyanide ( I love it because it is very fast)

Thank you for sharing. We all deserve a painless death, nobody should have to spend their last moments in agony. Those with the option of N are very lucky.

SN is a very painful method?

hi, sorry I am new here and dont know what most of the short letters stand for... can somebody please tell me what N and SN stand for ? I am looking for a painfree and kostfree method myself. wrist cutting, sleepingpills(zopi) and carbon monoxide have failed already for me :(

N is Nembutal, a mexican euthanasia agent that is hard to get but very peaceful.
SN is Sodium Nitrite (not Nitrate), a much easier to obtain agent that is legal in most places (as it cures meat). It takes longer and can be nauseating, but is much easier to get than Nembutal.

I'd reccomend browsing the forum more, or message me and i'll give you more info on SN! :)

hope this is allowed, if not i'm sorry!

This is all the information you need

Not painful but it's not like drinking a glass of water

I agree with you, we should have the right to a painless way out and N should be much easier to find and not necessarily go to Mexico

I don't think the night night method is as peaceful as CO and exit bag. It's not nice to have something choking your throat. N, night night and exit bag, 10/10 peaceful. Except for N's bad taste. Partial is peaceful if done right. I assume by Frostbite you mean hypothermia. This is the worst. Cyanide may be more peaceful than SN. A particularly high concentration and hot KCN solution can cause unconsciousness in a short time. Still, there are risks of asphyxia-related painful symptoms and convulsions prior to unconsciousness. My ranking is as follows;


CO (very rapid unconsciousness and zero pain at high concentration)
Exit bag (almost same with CO)
N
Partial hanging (in rapid loss of consciousness)
KCN
SN
hypothermia

Jumping should be right up there if done right tbh.

@Resin66 A self inflected gunshot wound has the potential to be painless when placed correctly, remember the brain is an organ which is incapable of feeling pain.

In addition to comfort, I believe an important aspect to keep in mind is also a method's success rate. Harvard School of Medicine has an easy to read graphic.


I also like the chart compiled in the October 2009 issue of Dr. Nitschke's PPH, as I find it has all the pertinent info we frequently reference in one centralized place:

Rank	Method Name	Lethality (%)	Time (min)	Agony
1	Shotgun to head	99.0%	1.7	5.5
2	Cyanide	97.0%	1.8	51.5
3	Gunshot of head	97.0%	2.5	13
4	Shotgun to chest	96.4%	1.4	16
5	Explosives	96.4%	1.6	3.75
6	Hit by train	96.2%	17.92	7.08
7	Jump from height	93.4%	4.56	17.78
8	Gunshot of chest	89.5%	7	21.7
9	Hanging	89.5%	7	25.5
10	Auto crash	78.5%	20.5	30
11	Household toxins	77.5%	24	54.5
12	Set fire to self	76.5%	57	95
13	Structure fire	73.0%	52.5	91.5
14	Carbon Monoxide	71.0%	21.5	18
15	Hit by truck/auto	70.0%	19	63
16	Electrocution	65.5%	2.4	72
17	Gunshot of abdomen	65.0%	69	74
18	Drowning ocean/lake	63.0%	18.5	79
19	Stab of chest	58.5%	96	76
20	Cut throat	51.5%	15.5	86
21	Overdose illegal drugs	49.4%	116.25	5.25
22	Plastic bag over head	23.0%	7	23
23	Drowning bathtub	21.5%	18.5	79
24	Drowning swimming pool	21.5%	18.5	79
25	Stab of abdomen	12.5%	252	78
26	Overdose prescription drugs	12.3%	129	8.5
27	Overdose non-prescription drugs	6.0%	456	22.5
28	Cut wrists/arms/legs	6.0%	105	71

• Lethality: How likely is the method to cause death (where 0% is no chance, and 100% is absolute certainty)
• Time: An opinion on the length of time the method will require to produce death
• Agony: The amount of pain and discomfort you would expect from the use of the particular method (ranked on scale of 0 to 100 where 0 is no pain/discomfort and 100 is the most pain/discomfort possible)

Night Night If done properly will be not only painless but much faster as long as you compress the Carotid Arteries and not the Windpipes. In comparison with the Exit bag, you don't need to buy the bulky10l Gas cylinder and prepare the bag you need only a Ratchet strap or Gorilla tape and a pair of Sack holes. Yes hypothermia I know very well because I was rescued just in time when I was 6 years old in the Mountains and the worst part is your body temperature drop to a point that you don't feel anything just loss of consciousness. I don't have a car for CO

Nah, the sheer terror would be agonizing.

You think CO is less painful than N? I heard it was pretty agonizing.

As someone who wants to freeze to death, if you do it right I don't think it has to be painful. You won't last long when it is like -20F outside and in fact, many people who nearly died from frostbite reported warm cozy sensations

From what I've seen on some news reports about finding missing people in blizzards or what have you, many of the people who froze to death were often found with some of their clothes taken off from feeling too warm.
I don't understand the science behind it or know if it's actually true. Can't always believe news reports.

 

[Antiquated]

Real phenomenon, It's called "paradoxical undressing". I do like the idea of hypothermia, if I lived near a mountain and had access to sleeping pills I'd definitely consider it.

I was in Yukon a while back and considered doing this, but was terrified of being rescued with frostbite. Losing fingers and toes is no fun at all.

No it is true, and a well-known phenomenon called "Paradoxical Undressing". I first came across this when reading about the Donner Party. As for the science, I took this from wiki. It's quite interesting imo:

One explanation for the effect is a cold-induced malfunction of the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. Another explanation is that the muscles contracting peripheral blood vessels become exhausted (known as a loss of vasomotor tone) and relax, leading to a sudden surge of blood (and heat) to the extremities, causing the person to feel overheated.

I guess it's kinda like if you apply a tourniquet to your arm (like when measuring blood pressure), leave it for a while, then take off the tourniquet you feel this heat in your hands.

Edit: I see Antiquated already replied.

Well thank you, both.
This gives me another alternative if god forbid something goes wrong with the other plans I have in place.
I suppose the only downside to this is it is seasonal.
I'm already giving myself to October to get everything lined up, so I guess a couple of months later shouldn't make a huge difference.
I live in Utah so the cold wouldn't be an issue. I'd only have to travel ten minutes or so to get high enough and secluded enough.
So again, thank you.
