Discussion Suicide by Animal

This highly toxic snake's venom affects both the nervous system and blood coagulation. If left untreated, mortality is 100 percent. In cases of severe envenomation, death comes swiftly -- within a half hour."

I wonder how many people have tried this sort of thing. Buy a highly venomous animal, milk it, then inject a massive load into their bloodstream. Seems a pretty sure method though the level of agony may be quite high depending on the creature.

Why milk it? Just let the little creature have some fun biting you so its a win-win (good karma)

is this method painful?
K. I looked it up and it is painful.

I'd just hang myself.

Pain vs certainty is sometimes a tradeoff - some people say hanging works 70% of the time, but with full suspension I think it is in a very high %,maybe in the 90s, and with partial it seems to be below 50%. I know for me I'd take the temporary pain being higher in order to avoid the long term pain of potentially years of suffering. How would you get the venom out and distinguish it from other bodily fluids? That might be impossible unless you are a vet or something like that- getting bit seems more certain to work, I would think.
