I'm interested in understanding whether there are self-administered end-of-life options that are as peaceful and painless as what's legally offered through assisted dying in Switzerland, specifically methods involving barbiturates like sodium pentobarbital. I'm in a country where assisted suicide isn't legal.Thank you.

My position is opiates are the most human way to go. Always.

True, I'd say barbiturates are better overall but let's be honest there's no way you can get your hands on any barbiturate. There's a lot of scams for that. Not a lot of drug dealers deal that because junkies only abuse drugs like Heroin or Fent. Those are easier to get and not much scams come with it.

Do you think morphine would be a humane way to go? If so, which method would be the best way to administer it? Thank you for the info.

My guess is yes. Hospitals do this where I am. When someone is going to die in short order, say from cancer, they will up the morphine to the max for pain relief. Its a humane way to end their suffering. From my observation, the person is out of it, no longer in pain and eventually goes to sleep permanently. They use intravenous.

They aren't *killing* anyone (technically they are), because the cancer has already done that.

I use cancer as an example because I've known a few people to die in the hospital this way. They couldn't deal with the pain anymore, so they essentially went to the hospital to die.

As far as how much, and sourcing morphine, I have no idea how challenging it would be. It would be dependent on your location. Nembutal for example is a no go unless you're able to travel to the very few places you can get it.

SN became a popular option because of this, but even that is likely to become hard to get due to its popularity.

I have seen this also.
