- Easy and affordable to obtain
- Straightforward setup, both technically and logistically
- Highly lethal and reliable when following the protocol; most failures occur when help is called or someone intervenes
- Accessible if you know where to look, and finding the information here is quite simple
- Legal, though there may be restrictions in certain areas
- Allows for comfort in your own home, in your own bed, which may not be possible with other methods
- Relatively peaceful experience
- Minimal, if any, long-term damage in case of failure
That would absolutely be my more preferred method over SN if I had access. Hands down. Sadly, since I do not I have leaned to SN instead.
The only "failures" seem to occur when someone realizes they don't truly want to die and call for help or if they are 'rescued' by someone else. It is not because of pain. From what I've seen, this isn't due to "excruciating pain" - the reports simply do not back that up as the reason and it is kind of fear mongering. There's no method that guarantees a "100%" success rate. You're free to have your doubts, but spreading fear with unfounded claims isn't too helpful or productive. I welcome anything to support your position so I can better educate myself though, I am not saying you are "wrong" but I do like to read those details for myself instead of relying on other's assertions that aren't backed up or are at seeming direct odds of what information is available. The reports appear to contradict this claim about pain as well, with less than 20% reporting pain. I'm not saying it's easy, but it is kinda misleading to assert that without concrete support for people to objectively consider. For just me, enduring some side effects is worthwhile for self-deliverance purposes.

If you're making claims about "plenty of reports," can you provide one or more saying this for me to review?
You've made this claim before but not support it with any evidence or reports, and I genuinely cannot recall reading any report let alone 'many' reports of people being conscious that long so it would be really helpful to have that handy if you have it and I would appreciate your help in showing this. With that said, if any reports have made you hesitant, that's completely understandable. Nobody is trying to dictate what anyone else should do; it's important for each person to do their own research, assess their comfort levels, and make the best decision for themselves. People can assess the reports for when LOC has happened by varying accounts to make their own conclusions.
But again, if you have reports of people being conscious that long I genuinely would like to read up on them to better educate myself about it as I continue to be open to learning more! I am not being sarcastic either or implying you are lying or wrong, I just haven't read reports to back this up and truly want to read about it to see what might have gone 'wrong' to try to avoid the same situation if at all possible (I realize my tone may not be clear so I wanted to make sure I clarified that).
I have combined and added all the brief summary of all the attempts, assumed successful and unsuccessful, of SN suicide. These are all posts that the member has made to document the method, news articles, and scientific articles. If I have missed any I apologise and it would be great if you can...

I completely understand and respect that this method might not be for everyone and that is no problem at all. However, I don't see much value in making claims that could increase anxiety for others simply because it isn't what you want, or in giving wrong claims about it. It's perfectly fine to have your own opinions, but it's important not to make incorrect statements or if you do have backing to be kind enough to link things to support it. I think everyone benefits from well researched arguments and can support it so everyone can make well thought out decisions and make good reasoning for whatever is best for them based on that information.
I hope everyone finds everything they are looking for and get peace & serenity.
