Talk:Exsanguination
What's the difference between this and desanguination? — Ultor_Solis • T 02:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Exsanguination is the fatal and total loss of blood, while desanguination is merely a major loss. PrinceForte 06:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Exsanguination as Suicide
Isn't it true that some people, when experiencing severe depression, sometimes use razors or knives to sever arteries in their wrists and allow themselves to exsanguinate as a means of suicide? I believe it's more commonly known as "cutting oneself." Perhaps this fact could be added here? PrinceForte 06:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
"Cutting oneself" usually refers to the (mostly) superficial and generally non-lethal act of causing deep scratches or cuts to the arms or legs in order to either release endorphins, garner attention, or as an act of self-loathing. 219.90.189.90 (talk) 15:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I added a ref to hypovolemia, since technically it's the overriding term (per the ICD). I don't think a merge is necessary, since hypovolemia refers to the broader defecit, whereas exsanguination refers specifically to death due to that defecit (like electric shock vs. electrocution).

Insanguination vs. exsanguination
Insanguination redirects here but is not mentioned in the article. Cburnett 17:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Halal & Kashrut
The language on this seems confusing to me.
"Slaughter by exsanguination is mandated by Judaic kashrut (kosher) and Islamic halal dietary laws. While Islamic law forbids this practice, there is an active debate within the Jewish community regarding its permissibility."
SO.. its mandated by tradition and religious law, but forbidden in Islamic law and controversial in the Jewish community? This paragraph seems to contradict itself. --76.103.178.225 (talk) 09:43, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I know this isn't much of an article, but what is here could be cleaned up as it is. 74.185.249.234 (talk) 02:24, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
