It cannot be done so easily.
Your body has a thousand instincts inside trying to preserve itself.
Many of these people who try asphyxiating themselves end up ripping the bag even after they go unconscious. And if you fail, you risk long-term brain damage.
Trying to kill yourself is like trying to kick a the corner of a concrete wall with your shin as hard as possible. You have to override a lot of self-preservation instincts. It's not like you suddenly become immune to pain, loss, and fear.
- LorenPechtel 5y agoAsphyxiating without a replacement gas does trigger your body to try to fight it. However, when you use enough replacement gas (helium or nitrogen will do) the body won't fight it because it's the buildup of CO2 that's the trigger, not the lack of oxygen. I do agree brain damage can happen from a failure.
