Praise for Planning and Preparation (Why Not Helium?)

Hail Satan!  50031126 vii om

                        REACH OUT AND TOUCH YOURSELF

# ...a lot of planning 

responsible terminations do require some of this, yes.

# and also equipment involved. 
# ...helium tank, ...mask, 
# ...something to measure how pure the helium is and what not, 

that does sound involved.

# and if any of this should be delivered when my SO is around, 
# he would really wonder why on earth I need this big helium 
# tank, and I would have to stutter something about a surprise 
# party for my sweetheart with lots of balloons. 

that might be complicated.

# The Church of Euthanasia might praise this method....

of course not. I never praise avoiding confronting SOs about
suicide. that's irresponsible. no surprise would be necessary
if the SO was involved somehow. and if the SO would freak,
then obviously unless you hate them, breaking up with them
first would be the most considerate thing to do before
ending it all. it's all over the symptomology, besides. of 
course, if one hates them, one might lie to them about such 
a party and slam them with a very blatant public suicide.

# ...but it seemed to be a too complicated procedure to me....

compared to what, precisely?

there are surely simpler methods. jumping in front of a train.
are they as sure or as private? not always. it varies. that's
why any particular method can't be willy-nilly sanctified.
me, I've got some ritual ideas. ;>

# I read somewhere 

where? the source of this information might be important data.
we can compare and contrast authorities when you cite sources. ;>

# that it is not recommded to do this all by yourself, as 
# there are too many steps involved that you could mess up, 
# and it doesn't look as if anyone is going to volunteer to 
# assist me with this.

my impression is that this is a plan for the serious, those
interested enough to end their lives that they are willing
to learn a few new things and read a few simple instructions.
fear of bungling is important to adequately address.

# ...the physical consequences of an elevated carbon dioxide 
# blood level that will cause even the most determined person 
# to remove the plastic bag, 

really? I thought the helium knocks you out. 
or did you know that you could combine these?

# I read about people who had knocked themselves out with 
# some pretty heavy stuff and who still woke up with the 
# plastic bag in their hands not feeling so fit then,
# so it looks like you have to be almost in coma to 
# leave that bag in its place. 

it sounds like bungling it might be too problematic, yes.

# I once had a neighbor who succeeded with this though, 
# and it's too bad that I can't ask him anymore how he 
# managed this. 

not by his aim. ;>

# The nice thing about inert gases 

yes.

# or carbon monoxide is 
# that you won't have any unpleasant physical reactions 

this isn't true for CO. everything I read about CO 
indicates that it displaces reception of oxygen, poisoning
the human body and (depending on CO levels/+other+chems),
causing some pretty nasty side-effects.

plus, I think CO is *flammable*, explosive. so this is
another hazard to watch out for. you can fuck up your
family's lives pretty seriously if you take the house
along with you when you go because of an explosion/fire.
I wouldn't want to do that to my loved ones. based on
what you said about your SO not even knowing that you
want to end your life, I doubt you want it to be an
unintentional murder-suicide. do more research. that's
what I'm doing.

# and could really die peacefully. 

I'm not sure whether the helium delivery is peaceful,
but the way it sounded with euthanizing nonhumans, they 
passed out without struggling as when suffocating and 
suffering the effects of CO^2. see the Suicide Guide:

# But unfortunately, this Dr. Kevorkian can't help 
# anyone any more. Oh well.

don't bet on it. he's got orgs and outreach and there
are some who seep like tendrils out of his cell 
assisting the needy to self-terminate as we are able
and their end sought seems elegant and resolved.

you sound troubled and inexpert, deceiptful and unsure.
your caution is therefore very good. nobody's pushing.
only those who are really ready to end their lives ought
be given assistance of any kind, as Saint Kevorkian knows.

blessed beast!
