Hi everyone,
Please note: I am using AI to help me translate and structure this message to ensure my intent is clear. I read and understand English perfectly, but I find it difficult to express complex emotions and technical details accurately in this language. Thank you for your understanding. (My native language is spanish)
I am reaching out to this community because I value the non-judgmental and responsible approach here. I am currently facing a terminal illness. I have reached a place of peace regarding my situation, and I am focused on maintaining control over my final days to avoid unnecessary suffering.
I have a specific concern that I'm struggling with: the future of my three senior dogs. They are my world, and two of them have significant health issues. I want to including them in my plans to ensure they don't face abandonment or a decline in their quality of life after I'm gone, as I don't have a support system that can provide the specific care they need.
I am looking for specific guidance on methods that would allow for a simultaneous process. My priority is a peaceful, painless, and dignified exit for both my dogs and myself.
I am currently considering a method involving Carbon Monoxide (CO). My plan is to use a vehicle in a confined space, using a hose to direct the exhaust into the interior and sealing the windows. I plan to use sleeping aids for myself and my three dogs beforehand to ensure we are all deeply asleep.
I have specific technical questions regarding this:
I am aware that modern catalytic converters significantly reduce CO output. Is the 'hose method' still considered reliable with a modern vehicle, or are there specific steps needed to ensure it works effectively and quickly?
What type of sedatives or sleeping aids are best to ensure the dogs stay completely calm and deeply asleep throughout the process without causing nausea?
My absolute priority is that they don't experience any respiratory distress or 'air hunger' before falling unconscious.
I am looking for technical confirmation on whether this setup (CO via hose in a modern vehicle) is foolproof or if there is a high risk of failure due to the catalytic converter, as I cannot afford an incomplete or distressing outcome for my dogs or myself.
Thank you for providing a space where I can discuss this openly.
