Speed is of the essence after last time when they managed to resuscitate me.

I've checked fast. But it was hard choice between this and reversibility. Both are important to me. When they found me and resuscitate (and they will try this for sure...) , i don't want to become vegetable or something.

What means reversible?

It means if you start to execute the method, but change your mind, you can stop without much harm.

For instance, partial hanging is reversible because if you change your mind before you pass out, you can stop by getting out of the noose.

But a poison with no known antidote is not, because once you take it, you will die even if you suddenly change your mind.

So reversible means "I can start to kill myself, but can stop it halfway through if I change my mind and want to live."

Meaning that if you are found, there is a chance they can revive you without any lasting effects.
Thanks, ......................guess nobody'll choose that.

I have to admit, being found and "rescued" always sounds like a nightmare to me.

That's why I included "Private", although on 2nd thought I see it kinda doesn't fit well as a criteria for a method.

Ok, thanks. I thought that you made a mistake and would to say irreversible, but not, Ok.
It is very good explained on your last sentence.

I am going to have nothing close to reversible.

Fast or painless, I am not sure.

Painlessness is another important criteria as I have relatively low tolerance for discomfort and pain compared to the average person. So anything that minimizes or is so quick that it is painless (or only for a fraction of a second) would be my way to go.
