Hi.
In considering the myriad proposed ways to CTB, something has come to my attention: When it comes to end-of-life care, it oftentimes boils down to a choice between faster methods, usually involving some sort of violence (defenestration, drowning, crushing, MVAs and so on) and less violent methods, but which tend to involve more or longer suffering (poisoning, hanging, intentional drowning etc.)
The problem is that most of us are not inherently violent people; nor are most of us inherently stoic enough to seek a slow, agonizing death.
Which brings us to inert gas asphyxiation. Which, to me, looks like the Rolls-Royce of methods, short of the Pegasos Clinic.
Has anyone had any experience with people choosing this method? Or god forbid, who attempted it and somehow managed to fail?
