With the current legal situation, there is no way to take your own life without traumatizing someone else. At the very least the person that finds you will suffer from that experience. Afaik there is like one country in the world that has legalized assisted suicide. That is the only way to do it without "being a dick about it".

I disagree. And I don't mind discussing it, but this seems like the kind of topic the admins would start throwing permabans around over. Gotta love that ipo.

But I can imagine scenarios where it's little different than a medic finding an old guy who passed of natural causes-- especially if that person scheduled a message to be sent to the right people ahead of time.
