I was shocked to read that over 100 people tried to commit suicide and only 1 succeeded. I'm pretty sure that if I really wanted to kill myself I would be successful. I'd start by doing lots of research on different methods and their success rates, then I'd use several high quality methods simultaneously. (Note: I am definitely not thinking of killing myself.) So I looked at stats online and saw that some researchers report a 3-5% success rate for attempted suicides, in general. Why is that number so low? --------------------------------------------------------------- * Even some Governments that have institutional death penalty "FAIL" at a good kill. True, but the stats I saw suggested that around 3% of executions failed, with 97% being successful. Meanwhile only 1% of these "suicide attempts" succeeded, and 99% failed. I do have to wonder how many of these 100 "suicide attempts" were actually cries for help, rather than sincere efforts to self terminate. * Often suicide deaths are listed as accidents or other. I feel the true numbers are deeply hidden. Yes, that's true. |
