While suicide isn`t something people even consider for the most part, death by radiation poisoning is a long and very painful death. Not only this, but your family and loved ones will fall by the same fate. Before your eyes, the people you love, would die while you yourself was dying.
Thanks for the tip on the book, i`ll look into it.
I too would seek a way to prolong my existance but i`m not sure how long it would help. In the film, they seem to speak of increasing amounts of radio activity in increments of 50 rads and a "base figure" of 30 rads as background radiation.
Above 50 rads and the liklieness of lukemia is increased exponentially.

A real bad way to go.
