Terminal Dehydration

[Battered_Seoul]

Given the recent case in the Netherlands, how feasible is this method for a reasonably healthy adult in early-middle age?

As I understand it, the Netherlands case involved a prior history of hospitalization due to eating disorders that progressed as far as an induced coma, so I am assuming a degree of pre-existing physical frailty although I am not entirely sure of the facts.

I have access to small amounts of sedation and pain medication that, while clearly non lethal in themselves, could help me push through discomfort and pain.

Just musing out loud here. I'm rather tired of weighing up unpredictable pharmaceutical variables.

From what I've heard death from dehydration is rather rough and can take quite a while. Up to a week depending on the environment and you.

Maybe if you have medication that can keep you unaware of your condition for a few days it might work, but it might be bad if your medication wears off before your dehydration kicks in.
