Question:
I have heard that drowning is the most painless, but I say prove it. It is claimed that mystics can leave when they want. I don't know if this is true or not, it's just said that they can.
As far as whether suicide is wrong or not, I believe it is up to the individual. I wouldn't do it because I wouldn't want to hurt the ones left behind. But if the time came that I was in incredible pain, yeah, I believe I would.

As far as whether suicide is wrong or not, I believe it is up to the individual. I wouldn't do it because I wouldn't want to hurt the ones left behind. But if the time came that I was in incredible pain, yeah, I believe I would. I think drowning is one of the most horrible ways actually. Thinking you just took your last breath of air is pure horror, then you're forced by the circumstances to breath in water, now the sheer panic starts - you will cough - and therefor breath in more water. Oh, and then the fidget starts.
By the way, I think suicide is a sin and there's no excuse.

Answer:
The easiest and most painless NATURAL way to die is to freeze to death. Women do not like messing up their bodies, men are far more likely to take a closed casket.
Now i'm going to go play in other threads because, after all, life is far more interesting than death. Life's filled with possibilities, and death is so very ... final.

Answer:
So what was so fun about your 30's & 40's? I would like to know..maybe I'd like to change my mind and live longer.[/quote]

When you do extreme damage like a bullet to the head, the brain stem keeps your body functions going (Like your heart beating), but the conscious part of your brain is done, so you don't feel any pain. Evidence of that is that you collapse, because the conscious part of your brain is no longer telling your body what to do, and cannot feel pain.
Burning to death is not the worst thing that can happen to you. Due to the extreme nature of the act, you either pass out from the pain or the fumes first. People that are burned in house fires are subjected to the ultimate irony. By staying low to the floor, they stay conscious, but that also means they can feel themselves burning. If they would stand up, they would pass out and not have to feel the pain, but they would also be of no help to the firefighters. Stand up and die nearly painlessly, or stay low and burn nearly to death, only to live and suffer through months of recovery, and be completely traumatized the rest of your life? Unfortunately, most people don't know about the first option, because they've had "Stay low dammit!" ingrained into their brain all of their lives.
To a Christian, suicide may or may not be an unforgivable act. To the Japanese, it is about honor, no more, no less. Do you live and disgrace your family, only to be beaten and outcast, or do you commit suicide and save face?
I'd prefer not to commit suicide, to much to live for.
- Rich Not to be morbid, here, but this is a pretty morbid subject. From what I hear tell in my days spent in the ER, the problem with gunshots to the head is the high likelihood of crappy aim which will render one not dead, but rather alive and incapacitated and very likely deformed.
As far as burns, the burn nurses I know are most terrified of that as an injury than any other you can imagine. Excruciating pain and lingering death.
The best death I heard of so far was an elderly man who died in his rocker , at home, reading his morning paper just as he had every other morning. When his wife came in with his coffee, she found him slumped over, quiet and at peace.

Grandpa laid down in bed & told Grandma he was cold, and asked her to fetch him an extra blanket for the night. When she returned with the blanket he had already passed away. I can't remember exactly how old he was, but I want to say lower 80s. He lived a great life.

Oh, you might quit smoking, quit drinking, quit abusing your body. I promise you, one day you WILL die.
Suicide is a way a helpless person re-takes control of their life. Piss on that! Choose to live, and overcome.

The only thing that matters is how you feel
Um, not to be argumentative, but isn't that a bit of a contradiction?

Suicide is a way a helpless person re-takes control of their life. Piss on that! Choose to live, and overcome. Agreed.

There's no contradiction IMO.
"The only thing that matters is how you feel" refers to the importance of HOW you feel. There's no word included that it has to be good or bad. In the end the good and bad times stick out like monuments in contradiction to lukewarm lari-fari hanging around. Of course I prefer the good times as well, but the bad times will form everyone's character and they are probably more important than the good times can ever be.
Like Henri Rollins said: "It's not good to always feel good"

Yes, but if you feel like committing suicide would you do it because thats what you feel and thats what matters or you wouldn't do it because its a sin? Why are you so sure its a sin?
