Doesn't satisfy the need for punishment - they've got to be made to suffer. Yes, it's barbaric. Yes, even supposedly civilised places like the US haven't worked this out everywhere. But they haven't even worked out that killing people is not a good thing.

On the plus side, your cold dead corpse would have a nice cherry complexion...
I don't either. Given the bizarre ways that have been concocted including the "nice way" with drugs that isn't nice because noone will supply the drugs any more, you would think that filling a chamber with N2 would be a no brainer.

If you can find a CO2 absorber, a simple re-breather works too.

Assuming they were correctly convicted in the first place.
Not much point in an appeal after execution.

Yep, that's the problem the people that think like this aren't thinking str aight.
Yep, it's the simplest drug to take and the one most likely to be in the ho me in quantity. That's why they stopped selling large containers of 200 bec ause people brought them to save money. Those considering suicide because t hey weanted to die or for attention just headed for the nearest bottle of p ills.
So you have inert gas in your home just waiting to be used.
Most people that think of killing themselves do it on the spot and use what ever is to hand they don;t normally go out and purchase items. These people aren't normally in their 'right mind' at the time.
So were asprins in large quantities and the majority of attempted suicides.

guns illegal in the UK, so it's pills or join the armed forces to 'fight' i n another country would be my suggestion.

Nope, but I could procure it during the day and be home in 90 minutes.
Most people could.
Possibly....
Death by combatant?

Those who hang themselves need to plan ahead, as do those who do it via their car exhaust. Jumps may be more spur of the moment, but I think there's evidence that even they are well planned.

Or you could be rude online about a sleb and find yourself hanged.

Very true. So to prevent murder simply execute the entire population. Simples.

Quite difficult to do these days as there is virtually no CO from a car exhaust, so you don't get poisoned. You'd have to find some way of replacing all the air in the car with the CO2 from the exhaust - not so easy.

and why few suicides use hanging if something else is availible. Poeple in prison cells attempt this I know a prison warder who has to remov e their belts. and anyhting else that can be used in a suicide attempt.
if they have a car in a convienent place.
You can't easily stop things that are well planned the thing about pills is that your parents, siblings, friends, anyone can buy asprin type drugs and store them and if you happen to feel like topping yuorself in the home the bathroom cabinet isn't far, and is usualy stocked.

pills are the most comonly attempted way because they don;t think of such t hings as being painful.

another way is making any killing of another person legal, murder would then cease to be a problem.

The top pathologist in a hospital I knew well hanged himself in a basement toilet. Struck me that he was in a position with both understanding and access to the means for many alternatives, yet that is what he chose.

One of the reasons cells (both prison and police cells) are marked down in safety scores is due to the number of ligature points. It's common practice to remove items from people in police custody that could be used for self harm or used for hanging (belts, spectacles, shoes etc). The same cannot be said for people in prisons unless they are on suicide watch.
Specialist firms are used to identify ligature points in the cells and if the occupant of the cell is called Harold Shipman then these danger points are highlighted with a red marker pen just before lights out.

That will be asphyxiation, then.
