“Why isn’t a plastic bag tied around the neck the most chosen form of suicide?
Painless, assured...”
Apparently you have never been in a situation where there was a shortage of oxygen, asphyxiation (suffocation) is one of the most hideous ways to die. If it were painless a person could simply hold his breath until dead, try that sometime. Drowning is far quicker and less agonizing. There was a history special on the “Hunley”, a confederate submarine, on TV and it was stated that the men who volunteered for that duty agreed that if they came to a situation where they could not get out of the sub for any reason they would open a valve to let in water because drowning was much better than suffocation.
Well, I’m glad that suicide is not in my game plan...obviously I’d suck at it.
