What's the most painless way to die?

[adairusmc]

Suck-starting a 10ga shotgun maybe?

 

[Bignate603]

I've heard drowning is pretty painless.

Not as painless as suicide ^_^

 

[eits]

Dying is easy, it's getting there that hurts.

words to live by

 

[Powermoloch]

Don't wanna sound so glum. I've seen someone close died on his bed after his battle with pneumonia (he's 92 btw and I was his caregiver). It was slow, but he doesn't seem to struggle at all. Peaceful in a way.

 

[thescreensavers]

Yes while you are staring at your body... May or may not hurt but you are fully aware for quite a while after it happens.

you mean you can still see :O

Freezing to death.

A little sting, then just numb.

 

[Nemesis 1]

sleeping pills?

agreed

Whoa. I've seen every episode of M*A*S*H several times and I love that show... but I had no idea the theme song had lyrics!

OP: I'd vote for shotgun blast to the face.

 

[So]

Other than dying of old age that is.

Easy. Go back in time and kill your own father.

Sleeping pills can be pretty painful and the amount of pain could keep you awake as you die. I forgot where I read that response, but it was from some nurse that was explaining one of the patients dying slow and painfully, and only thing they could do was to try and ease the pain because it was too late.

I think that would be the worst.

Codeine not likely

Anecdotal evidence seems to say that the eyes might still "see" for up to 10 seconds after decapitation. Not the "for a while" that he indicated.. but still creepy.

 

[niallmcg]

I almost drowned...all I saw was a lot of white and no pain. Passed out under the surface...thankfully floated to the top and live to tell. I do not recall any pain.

CO poisoning.

CO poisoning.

Probably this. From what I can tell, you just pass out and don't wake up.

edit: I choose nitrogen.

From the wiki link, "Deprivation of oxygen in the presence of carbon dioxide creates panic and a sense of suffocation (the hypercapnic alarm response), and struggling even when unconscious, whereas anoxia in the presence of an inert gas, like nitrogen, helium or argon, does not."

 

[TallBill]

Explosives, as long as you're close to the blast.

CO is not carbon dioxide. Close, but still fail.

 

[RoloMather]

Op, don't kill yourself. Jesus can save everyone, including the homosexuals.

Marriage

No no no...very painful...and it won't cause you to die... it just makes you think about options. And they are all wrong.

 

[Locut0s]

From orgasm overload maybe?

That sounds like it could be potentially painful actually. The devil is really in the details on that one.

 

[Locut0s]

Explosives, as long as you're close to the blast.

As long as your head is next to the blast. The human body and survive some crazy shit for short periods. Wouldn't want to be the guy trying to put his intestines back in his body.

I call shens on that.
