Suicide Cleanup
Rarely do suicide cleanup practitioners take part in an assisted suicide or its aftermath. Because assisted suicide occurs in a controlled and planned death, little debris field arises from fluids and orther biohazardous materials.
Rarely do assisted suicides use physically traumatizing weapons like a handgun, shotgun, or rifle. And when they do, we must assume, that participants think ahead. Failure to do so needlessly causes undue trauma cleanup work for assistants.
Anyone contemplating an assisted suicide by firearm needs to plan well to protect loved ones as well as complete strangers from psychological trauma.
Suicide as a form of medical treatment has a growing number of advocate activists. They believe suicide under certain conditions makes a lot of sense. They also believe that such suicides do not create a crime and should be medically supervised. They reason as found in the next paragraph.
Modern, medical science gives us an ability to keep people alive long beyond a humane existence. For example, many stroke victims cannot move. They cannot eat. So tubes must be medically placed inside of their bodies for feeding and excreting. These patients cannot communicate verbally. Under these conditions patients lose their "dignity," according to assisted suicide activists. There are other examples, but this one should make the point well enough.
These assisted suicide activits believe that medical science has a duty to end human suffering humanely at the end stage of life, not continue it. Technologies exist to help humanity exit an otherwise hopeless, painful existence.
Some of these activists met in Seattle, Washington on Saturday, November 13, 1999. Some business folks showed their assised suicide devices, others espoused their assisted suicide philosophies, and others discussed our current state of assisted suicide strategies.
Events like Seattle's assisted suicide meeting often refer to new painless, suicide techniques. Assisted suicide advocates now profess oxygen free carbon dioxide delivery in place of oxygen required gas as a suicide method. Using rebreathers as found in the US Navy offers one approach. Another uses a simpler, less expensive carbon delivery system.
In the end, carbon dioxide from suffering patients offers a newer, cheaper, painless delivery system for assisted suicide. It also offers an alternative to suicide cleanup required by traumatic delivery systems like guns.
