Suicide by Cop.
If you were going to kill yourself, how would you do it?

I went to a suicide prevention workshop a while back, and we discussed "is suicide ever rational?"
I would have to agree with euthanasia....saw my dad suffer, and suffer. This happens with many patients. Even heart patients tend to die a much slower death to-day (congestive heart failure vs arrythmias).
Most of the money in health care is spent on end of life initatives. Imagine, if it was invested in children's/mothers health. Or, even mental health. There is not that much mental health morbidities compared to say, heart disease, or cancer, but the cost to the economy is staggering.
There are many people, in Canada, that are in the court system (more expensive) than in the mental health system. Also, look at the other costs of crime....this is not to say that the majority of folks are violent.
Perhaps a bit of a diversion to the OP's question. But, there it is.

Not true at all. Truck drivers lose their lives because people believe this. Do the truck driver's kids a favor and hit a bridge pillar instead.
Not only horrible, but I don't think its possible. The heat would build gradually. May as well put yourself into a pot of tepid water and try to boil yourself. I think you'd eventually reach a point where you'd bail out of your plan...involuntary reaction.
Of course, it might depend on the speed of spaceship. I guess if you had one fast enough...
