It is yearned for and it is sought after. When it comes, not as a cry for help, but as a resolution to an untenable human condition, it is welcomed, gladly and with open arms.
#Easiest way to kill yourself and less painful full
Suicide, on the other hand, is painless, full stop. Jean’s euthanasia was, I know, painless in body, if not in soul and mind. And the forlorn have few means with which to fill it at all the thoughts of those who baulk at criminality may, ever ofter, turn to suicide. The elderly fill theirs with beetle drives and canasta, snapshots of children, fond memories. Monks fill their void with devotion, with service, with their calling, self-actualisation and prayer. It is a nothingness that is already someone’s reality, and if Covid-19 made me appreciate anything, it’s that nothingness is no state in which humans can thrive. It is a vacuity which the victim of the act has arrived at before the observer ever pondered it. The act leaves those, who are left, to ponder at the vacuity of it: where was once someone is now nothing. The unseeing may regard the two questions as synonymous, and syntactically they just about are yet, they are the meeting point of two roads that converge from quite different directions. Internalisation of the wish to commit it happens in that turn-about moment, in which the question switches from “What is there to live for?” to “Why not just end it all?” to which there is, inevitably, no answer. I’ve been shocked at suicides along with the rest of us, and have thought deeply about suicide, about what moves people who are rich, famous, celebrated, to end it all, to snuff their flame. The 1970 black comedy “M*A*S*H” announces the darkness of its humour in the song that plays over the opening credits: to a soulful but sing-along tune, we hear the lyric “Suicide is painless.” Though it comes over initially as almost cynical, I think that it is true. With euthanasia, all know: the euthanised, the relatives and the euthaniser – it’s a practice whose emotional baggage is heavy for the medics who do it not simply “Please don’t go”, but “Don’t go, I swore devotion of my life to preserving yours, not ending it.” We all know that we will one day depart this mortal coil and, while some have a greater sense of foreboding because they are living in circumstances that make of death a companion, and one they can thereby come to terms with and even welcome, no one knows exactly when destiny will call for them. It was a fraught enough time for me, the guy next door for the family it was something none of them could have prepared for, and the expression of the wish starts a lengthy process of consultation and preparation.Įuthanasia is an act of compassion by both him whose life is ended and those who will be left with its aftermath. When I moved in 20 years ago, her husband was still alive but, over the years, his mental state declined to the point that he needed to be admitted to a nursing home, where, still partially in this world, he made the very hard decision to turn towards the next. An indoor charcoal burning unit was used to release carbon monoxide as the method of suicide,” the study said.My next-door neighbour is an elderly widow. “During investigation, police were able to reconstruct the events by analysing the computer of the deceased woman which was found with the bodies. In one incidence in Germany, a young woman and man became acquainted in a suicide web forum and made a pact to kill themselves together, according to a case study published in “Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology”.
Globally, there have been several incidents of CO suicides inspired by an internet video. Investigation revealed that the victim had order the CO for the stated reason of environmental research and had received it five days before the suicide. He said online shopping had made it easier for vulnerable people to arrange for material that would kill them.
But now we are seeing such examples in India also,” said Behera. “Victims using methods described on the Net to commit suicide is a known trend in western countries. Apart from the method of suicide, the forensic experts said they were alarmed to find the victim had searched the internet to choose a painless way of dying.
