Japanese suicide poison gas epidemic!

[Zaphod]

Maybe Kyomu can speak on this:

"The Japanese epidemic of suicides has become particularly lethal in the last year with the introduction of a new method: mixing store-bought detergents and chemicals to create toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. The gas almost always kills and sometimes the victims of the poisonous fumes are passers-by or rescue personnel."


Holy shit! Poison suicide vomit! 

"A 34-year-old farmer trying to kill himself by drinking pesticide was rushed to a hospital in southern Japan, Wednesday night, where workers feverishly pumped his stomach in an attempt to save his life. But the man threw up inside the hospital, releasing toxic fumes that sickened more than 50 people, including doctors, patients and hospital workers. "

So there's an increase in suicides or is it just the way they're doing that's causing all the hoopla?

Kyomu cannot speak on this. He babbles.

Hope this helps.

1)  Why is there an "epidemic of suicides" in Japan?




2)  Why do we care?

1.

It's a society that traditionally saw suicide as the "honorable" thing to do when shamed/etc. Not so much the reason nowadays. Most suicides are committed by young people who are bullied constantly or people who can't pay off their debts. I don't think the rate of suicides has changed significantly, it's the way it's being done, eg. mixing of household chemicals, etc.

2.

We don't. Which may be part of the problem. Epic serious post

2)  Why do we care?

1. Suicide isn't an isolated epidemic, its more like the highest incidence in the world.


2. So we can Gossip about it and then post our Opinions.
