I want to hear people's opinions on this. Someone I work with hung herself last Wednesday. I hardly knew her, but many people I know are grieving. I have mixed opinions. What does everyone else think about this taboo?
She should have used a bullet. Hanging yourself can take like 15 mnutes if done wrong.
Their life their choice, it's disgusting to call someone with mental issues selfish.
More thoughts on Hanging and Suicide:
In hanging, death may occur from (1) asphyxia (2) cerebral congestion or apoplexy (3) coma (4) shock (5) injury to the spinal column or cord and (6) combination of any of the above.
A hanging may induce one or more of the following medical conditions:
* Closure of carotid arteries causing cerebral ischemia
* Closure the jugular veins
* Induction of carotid reflex, which reduces heartbeat when the pressure in the carotid arteries is high, causing cardiac arrest
* Breaking of the neck (cervical fracture) causing traumatic spinal cord injury
* Closure of the airway
* Death erection
* Death
Symptoms are rapid that they are rarely observed-flashes of light before the eyes, ringing in the ears, followed by unconsciousness and death.
In judicial hangings, death is pronounced at cardiac arrest, which may occur at times from several minutes up to 15 minutes or longer after hanging.
