Wouldn't it be cool if it was legal to do studies on suicide methods, and publish them?
People who want to ctb could volunteer. They'd be in some room with the person doing the study, the person would control factors (such as did this person take antiemetics prior, if so, what kinds, what dosage, how frequently, etc). Then the person would execute the method and report how they feel until consciousness is lost. Time to unconsciousness would also be recorded.
If the person changes their mind (whether it's the survival instinct or the method is unpleasant), then their medical bills would be paid for, and it would be even greater if it were illegal to to put someone in the psych ward for that. Or if the method doesn't work or whatever, the participant would get some sum of money. If the method is peaceful and works, well, you got your reward. Maybe the sum of money that would've gone to you if you had survived would go to a family member or charity of your choice or something.
There is no chance in hell that this would ever become a thing, but one can dream.
And bonus points if the general public could submit ideas (of course, the volunteer would be aware of the entire process before they agree. They must know what the method is, what the preparation is, etc).
SN could be tested out in multiple people.
The DMSO method as well.
Etc.
And maybe the person should go through an extensive health screening beforehand to see if medical issues may have affected the method. The person's age, sex, weight, etc, would also be recorded.
It would be so nice.
If only.

I mean I wish I could see like 5+ videos per method, which is incredibly morbid, I know. But for example, I've seen a few hanging videos, and they're out almost immediately. So it gives me comfort knowing that if it were to come to that for me, it'd be over quickly.
