THE COMPLETE MANUAL OF SUICIDE


THE COMPLETE MANUAL OF SUICIDE 
Note: I hope that the content of this publication does not come hurt you, read with caution. Good read





 "In 1993 the Japanese writer Wataru Tsurumi published a book soon to become one of the most controversial of the polemics and Japan. This is the complete Manual of suicide, a quirky guide that shows with all a luxury of details the many ways that exist to pass this for the better, on a voluntary basis.

 The first edition of 'Jisatsu Manyuaru Kanzen' sold over one million copies, becoming a big hit in sales. The Japan is one of the countries with the highest rates of suicides and since the publication of the book, this is found next to the body of the suicide bomber, in some cases, students.


 Back of book

 The book can be considered quite clear and direct, since it does not condemn or incites to suicide and in any case, enters the philosophical or moral aspects of personal decision. Simply, through its 198 pages, devotes itself to describe in great detail and explicitly, how to take his own life with methods such as hanging, overdose, self- defenestrationdrowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.

 Cases accompanied by demonstrative illustrations, will accompanied by a score of one to five skulls, five the maximum degree, which is based on different concepts such as the pain it causes, effort required, the lethality of the method, the appearance of the body, how might disturb others.
In only 8 provinces in Japan the book was branded a dangerous healthby banning their sale to minors of 18 years. In Tokyo and the rest of the provinces, even the younger ones have access to the book to this day.



 After intense debate and criticism, Wataru Tsurumi published a second book: Our complete Manual of Suicide. (A cultural detail lost in the translation of the title of this book, is that 'our' is used in the term familiar and intimate 'Bokutachi', which causes the impression of title be focused on the exclusiveness of the young. I guess in this case, the young fans of the author of the book.)
 In this book, he publishes letters from fans and hatred that he received. This book helped focus public attention on the different reasons why people commit suicide, and any controversies. The book is still widely available. The same Publisher, but with another author, published the complete Manual of Disappearance in 1994. "

 "The 7:0 pm of February 1989, a 61-year-old lady walked to his bear nursery in Aso in Kumamoto State, which was an hour away. Once there she threw herself in the middle of the Paddock where bears Cubs were created. To hear the sound of the thud of her falling, the keeper of the animal farm, and see you on the floor surrounded by 2.5 meters high, bear cubs 68 thronged. The handler, it keeps the bears with a fire extinguisher and amid the white powder, the woman's body. The bears had already devoured much of the body, and all his intestines had disappeared. Of the stomach to the intestine there was only one big hole, hand and feet also had signs of bites of bears. His clothes were in tatters, so what's left was practically naked and his right eye had skipped out of orbit. The woman was an avid follower of Buddhism and did some time she said: ' I fell into the world of the devil ' and also ' as much as the body dies the soul survives ". I wonder if she also had a copy of this manual ... and something that stays to your criteria say.
