Some thoughts on unusual suicide methods

[ontheotherside]

Hello

I frequently think about killing myself. I am a somewhat imaginative person so I sometimes wonder about new/unusual methods of suicide. I have set out two ideas below.

1. Probabilistic suicide pill

Nembutal is normally considered the ideal suicide drug (ignoring availability). And for people who have the will to commit suicide it is.

But there are many people who want to commit suicide but who lack the willpower to take the final action (even with something as easy as drinking a solution). I think there are many people who fall into this category.

For this latter category of people, I think we need something which they can take without knowing it will definitely kill them. I think the following might work:

- You swallow a smart pill which contains something like a highly concentrated version of nembutal (not sure if this exists).
- Before you take a pill, you program the probability (e.g. 1%, 20% that the pill will release the nembutal during its journey through your GI tract.
- If the pill activates it only does so during your sleep (i.e. during certain hours).
- If it doesn't activate then the smart pill comes out unused.

The idea is that you can take the pill without knowing you will die. I think this would make it much easier for people to kill themselves. You could keep taking it until you die one day.

Not sure if any of this is possible with today's technology.

2. Suicide lottery

I think its fair to say that many people would not kill themselves if they became rich. Not all people but many.

The idea would be as follows:
- You find 10/15/20 people who want to kill themselves.
- All but one (chosen at random) will receive a painless death.
- The one who survives will receive a large amount of money.
- The amount of money would be funded by the ones who die agreeing to allow their organs to be sold to a third party.
- The whole process would be conducted in a room where everyone was connected to an IV supplying nembutal with a random number machine to select the winner.

The advantages of this approach is that everyone is a winner: all but one receive a painless death, one person gets a large of money and one (or more) get organs which save their lives.

Obviously this is all illegal but I think it is an interesting concept.

They certainly are unusual methods. I think that for me if I had N I would have absolutely no problems ctb. N sounds ideal.

#1 is like Russian "N" roulette
#2 is like Squid Game Season Two- CTB Edition

You should work for Netflix

I thought about forced choking on a Haribo when denied any other options recently.
Don't chew enough and it may develop. Damn you esophagus. Too efficient

This is exactly what I was thinking. IRL squid game but no one wants to win

In certain work environments pure nitrogen is used for industrial reason, not sure why, and is a person accidentally goes into a space with pure nitrogen in the air they pass out in three to four seconds and are typically long gone before anyone finds them- this seems like the easiest way ever. I think there are nethods like this here but they are so hard to do- you have to build yourself a chmaber and acqyuire the nitrogen or other inert gas and build a chamber that won't leak gas- not easy to do, but very peaceful.

I know this is all theoretical, but for the first one instead of a pill perhaps a device like those used for insulin monitoring/injecting could be used. They are wireless, and could be programmed to inject the N randomly sometime during the night. Im pretty sure N can be administered intramuscularly so it could still be just stuck onto your stomach/arm like the insulin ones.

This is rather ingenious. I don't see why it couldn't work, well, except for actually being able to acquire N in the current climate. It would certainly do away with the potential vomiting.

As if money cures the mental pains and traumas people endure and we can read about in this forum every day? You can't buy happiness. It won't magically cure depression or severe anxiety.

Therefore, this concept fails on the "winner" front. If all the contestants want to die, then "winning" the lottery as you describe it (= survive and get rich) will feel like the total opposite to the "winner". It will merely prolong their suffering.
