Disclaimer

The authors and contributors of this wiki do not in any way wish to encourage suicide. Moreover, it is considered to be of the utmost importance that no person with an impulsive wish to die should use this information as a whole, or any portion/section of it, under any circumstances. Doing so would utterly contradict the very fundamental intentions and motives of this wiki's authors and contributors, and would violate the basic humanitarian principles that have led us to publish it for the sake of those who really need it.

Someone with a wish to die should first of all receive any possible spiritual comfort, adequate palliative care, any possible professional therapy, and exhaust any and all other possible means to enable a bearable/tolerable life. In some cases, improved quality of life can be indeed facilitated by a physician, while in other cases, some sort of mental help can be usable and effective.

Unfortunately, as we are fully aware, in some other cases such as those for whom this wiki was established in the first place, the mentioned assistance and means would not apply, and life cannot be considered tolerable anymore. Be it as a result of some physical handicap/illness, or the result of prolonged non-relieved debilitating mental disease, we would like to respect and sympathise with those who suffer from these long-term conditions with which some human beings cannot cope.

Moreover, in some countries, those who are severely ill suffer significant malfunctions or other unbearable debilitating conditions and have no access to any reliable information in that respect, which may lead to either endless excruciating pain, or to resorting to unreliable and dangerous methods. We, by our project - this wiki - would like to prevent those cases from occurring, in service to human dignity and basic human rights.

For these above principles we share, all of the methods described here are given with respect to a dignified and humane death. All of these methods also entail an extensive, in-depth period of reading, planning, and self-preparation in order to be successfully carried out. That preliminary requirement will prevent people whose motives were not well thought out, and those who are impulsive in their wish, from even considering the use of these methods, as they are far from simply "pulling a trigger".
