Which one is the best? Wikipedia did not mention a „winner“

Getting feedback from people who used the best and most effective methods in this manual has proven difficult...

There are more modern, and updated references. Final exit international publishes a ebook surveying methods, and has a community for helping prepare for the transition. wiki

A community with more active information being updated bimonthly is Peaceful Pill (wiki)

Exit (Peaceful Pill) has a large support organization and active forums for members. They often do webinars talking about end of life planning, estate planning, insurance, etc.

Both organizations charge a small fee for the ebooks but you can easily find it on the high seas (fmhy/LibGen)

But to answer your question about winners, Nitrogen displacement, and Nembutal appear to be the most favored.

Nitrogen asphyxiation is some scary stuff. You just die without realizing there is a problem. It's a problem in confined spaces in industrial environments.

Even the reviews I've seen don't want to spoil it. Maybe that's for the best.

Probably some hypoxia-related one.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a popular method in Japan for being relatively clean, easy, and painless.

As a person who tends to read cook books and go, "I can cook this", I'd hate to get this book and wonder about all the possibilities.

The same kind of book been published in France. It was quickly censured.

I actually own this book. Haven't read it yet, just found it interesting and bought it.
