Death

First topic message reminder :

Okay, I was just watching an assassins creed trailer, where the new assassin stabs a man in the throat. the guy slowly turns around, grasps his throat, blood seeps over his hand and he falls down, presumably dead.And I got to thinking. Many times I have seen, in movies, games and what not, people injured in places that I wouldn't think meant an instant death, yet they die instantly, or nearly.Sure, a knife in the liver is most probably a lethal injury, but not an instant kill. It would take a few seconds, perhaps even minutes for the person to die from that, longer if he tried to stop the bleeding.So I was wondering what you guys thought about this? Are there any places on the body where an instant kill would be plausible? For cause of argument, the weapon doing the injuring is a blade of some sort, in momento of the trailer that inspired my thoughts on this, and instant kill means death within a second or so of the injury.And no points for suggesting the obvious, like the spine or the brain. Seriously, we aren't idiots here.

Slow Grinding. Starting at the feet possibly. slowly in a light acid rain.

perhaps how they are going to excecute Luke in return of the jedi. slowly being digested over hundreds of years...
that's got to be horrible.

isnt that supposedly how Boba Fett died?

he fell down there so yeah...

You can say different ways you want to die, don't worry.
Perhaps dying slowly in agony from leukemia or something. then, when death finally hits and I feel no more pain...eternal peace.
Leas wishable...I don't know. being in outer space and have a ten cm diameter hole ripped in the space suit. I hear that is the worst way to die possible.

all the air and atmosphere in the suit would make sure vacum got in there in seconds. You'd freeze to death in a very very short time.

no, not what I heard. I heard the vacum would rip out all the air and tear the body to shreds in an instant. an instant filled with the most excruciating pain inmaginable.

Oh, huh. Cool. I don't know what is right. But I hope your version is. I'd trade 10 seconds of the worst kind of pain instead of constant brain wrecking pain for years.

mhm, I agree with that.
Althought I would really like to die peacefully in the arms of the woman I love, but that is just romantic dreaming really.

I misstook the edit button for the quote button again, and added this to your reply by a fault:


Yeah, that would be wonderful, and if it was not painful at all... Awww.
