The page's name should be "How to commit suicide"

I agree with a lot of people here who says there's something wrong with this article. For example: Dehydration can be hard to bear, and requires patience and determination . In other words: Be strong, never give up and you will reach your goal, trust me! Brazilian Man (talk) 02:26, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Some fair criticism here. The phrase hard to bear is subjective and the attached source merely lists symptoms. Secondly, the phrase requires patience and determination would appear redundant, given that the article immediately after states takes from several days to a few weeks. Anyone care to disagree?

I rewrote that first sentence to take out the subjective redundant information. GB fan 12:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion to remove the mentioning of SilkAir 185 under Suicide by Plane

Skunkrider (talk) 20:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, in regards to the 'suicide by plane' part of this wiki entry, I consider it wrong, unjust and offensive to the families of the victims of SilkAir 185 to just state it as a case of Pilot Suicide.

In the documentary Mayday Silkair185 - Pilot Suicide? it is shown that - if I remember correctly - a US Judicial Court confirmed redundantly that the plane's crash was with utmost probability caused by a faulty hydraulic part of the tail-rudder (I'm not an expert at all, but simply pointing out what experts did find out) common to fail in that kind of plane, and all planes of the same type were subsequently outfitted by the manufacturer - having to be forced by the US government to do so - with a new type of hydraulic system with better redundancy.

There is no factual or physical evidence that supports Pilot Suicide, and the only side in this whole matter to insist on Pilot Suicide is of course the NTSB.

Thank you for your consideration.

I removed the entry because it appears to be inconclusive if the incident was suicide or not. GB fan 22:56, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the removal, without factual and physical evidence within a source this info should not be on wikipedia.MilkStraw532 (talk) 20:49, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I was surprised to see this article missing a section on what is the an increasingly common form of suicide in Canada, to name just one country. See the article Helium in an 'exit bag' new choice for suicide. Would somebody like to write it up? Be aware that there are the articles Suicide bag and Euthanasia device that can be drawn upon and linked. You need to find links to data that shows that Helium canisters are now being adulterated with oxygen to try to prevent the commonly available party balloon helium canisters from being used for this purpose, as well as data that shows Nitrogen is a more physiological gas that does not result in the twitching seen in helium deaths.  Jabbsworth  06:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see there is a section called Suffocation. It should be renamed and fleshed out.  Jabbsworth  06:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
