“Suicide is a realistic option, I hear myself saying a minute later. Some people take comfort in the realization that they have control over the way their life ends. What they dread most of all is the implementation. The way in which. A train is so violent. Cutting your wrists in the bathtub is so bloody. Hanging is painful – it takes a long time before death comes. Sleeping pills may be vomited up. But there are substances that bring about a painless, easy death.”
