How long does it take a person to die after they slit their wrists?
Reason why I'm asking is because you see people die this way in movies and it seems to happen so fast. Do you really die this fast (within minutes) or could it take hours for enough blood to pump out of your body before you die? EDIT::: No way am I thinking of doing this. Thank you for being concerned though. It's honestly just a curiosity question.

- depends on how deep the cut is, maaaaaaaaaaang.
I mean if you like prettttty much cut your wrist off then its like over. for reallll!
- Microwaves work better.
- honestly it depends on how you slice them. Now if this is something your thinking about I'd greatly advise aginst it. It's not normally a quick way to go. And life is too precious to even think about this!
- 1-3min to bleed outyour vein will squir blood and yeah ive seen it eww its disgusting
- haha apparently not fast enough, since these emo kids walk around with scars on their wrists from slicing...i personally havent tried, but im sure if you slice your vein vertically then the blood would come out faster, meaning you would die in like, minutes, from...duh...blood loss. if nobody is around to help you, and like, totally fuck up your suicide. hours no. minutes is usually about right.
i just wish these kids would slice harder or something...see em walking around alll proud with their scars.well. no thumbs down plz, im not hating or anything. emos just suck.
- Interesting question.
The veins and arteries in the wrist are relatively small, so I think it would take at least a little while.
Always remember, TV lies. If they say it's the truth, it's still a lie. "Reality TV"-lies! Even the News rarely tells the whole truth.
