An exit bag is a device consisting of a large plastic bag with a drawcord used to commit suicide. It is usually used in conjunction with an inert gas, which prevents the panic, sense of suffocation and struggling during unconsciousness. Right-to-die groups recommend this form of suicide as certain, fast, and painless.
