That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

Honestly, if I were to choose suicide, I'd go for a nitrogen slumber. Seems like a painless way to go.
They didn't seem to do it correctly and it took a while. It described in the article but it is horrible.

It's not like they could have practiced beforehand, but I get what you mean.
