Hello, My name is Shannon Huling and I am currently a student at Michigan State University. I a currently enrolled in this course in which requires me to edit on a long term pace, for a project to be graded at the end of the course. I am very excited for this project, i have never participated in anything like this before. I know that I will be able to learn a lot about editing and researching effectively. I hope that we something is done or said through my edits that inspire someone to better edit and research properly.

Suicide Methods
edithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_methods Article Lead Section
Suicide methods are the mechanisms of how a person determines to intentionally end their life. The methods that are selected for each person is determined by their psychological mind state and the physical ability to carry out the act. The method of suicide is prompted by multiple factors including their emotional state, the psychological mindset, environmental factors, including the socioeconomic status, their living situation, or sexual orientation can factor into which method is selected. Each mechanism of suicide outlines the engineering aspect of how to properly carry out the task, as well as the risk that you face if the tasks are not carried out properly. In many situations suicide attempts once determined can be successfully completed and you know this with the end result being death. However there are many situations where the method of suicide is incomplete and unsuccessful and in this case the results can defer. In many cases when the method is not carried out correctly it is due to the error of the lack of knowledge on how to execute the method. This can lead to serious damage to the body and can ultimately lead to death if the damage is to server. There are also the cases where multiple attempts can be had of different methods in the case that one method proves to be unsuccessful. The most common suicide methods are suffocation, cutting wrist, drowning, and firearms, hanging and jumping from heights. The use of these methods require an detailed outline of how to successfully carry them out, to reduce the likelihood of sustainment of life and damage to the body. A brief outline will also ensure that the end result of using a certain mechanism is ultimately death. In any aspect when choosing a suicide method you will have to consider how to properly carry out the method of choice and determine the psychological standpoint, of why that method was chosen.
I plan to incorporate the psychological reasoning to how and why people choose the methods of suicide in which they do. I also plan to go into further detail of how to properly carry out some of the more popular methods, and what risk are associated with carrying them out improperly.
