IIUC, taking a handful of pills often failed because you didn't die...
instead you hurked them all back up. Or really seriously messed with your
body.  It isn't as easy as one might think, apparently.

There was an organization "Hemlock Society" that had guidelines and meetings
and papers.  Dr. K was not part of that.  I think their book was "Final
Exit", something like that.

Dr. K may have administered a shot, like we give animals at the vet's office
when they are put down. I do not know.

I am kinda surprised it isn't more common for proles to go down to the
welding supply shop, get a bottle of nitrogen, attach a hose, dry cleaner
bag over the head, belt loosely around the bottom to vent away the last of
the oxygen, hose thru the top, turn on the flow, no bad smell of exhaust, no
mess, to travel, no danger to anyone else, low cost, no pain, no gain, adios
amigo.

Regarding the lengths Tom Hanks went to and failed (thrice) in his
brilliantly acted A Man Called Otto, he tried the most traditional methods,
but not the one that makes the most sense to me.

Of all the goofy nonsense I have ever posted here in 30 years, this is the
one which causes me the most concern I will deeply regret posting.  Stern
order: none a yas go out and start hoofing nitrogen, I MEAN IT.  Don't do
it, not even if you are signed up for Alcor.  Life is good.  Post me
offlist, or view the Hanks movie or both.  It is an excellent choice for one
who is at the end of his rope.  Hanks is an acting genius.  He really gets
Otto exactly right, and Mariana Trevino Ortiz is schmokin hot in that film,
without even a siren role.
