Two Atlanta men survived an attempt to kill themselves Friday by cutting off their arms with a circular saw.

The men managed to sever three of their arms about six inches above the wrist, he said.

The two men — ages 40 and 41 — left a suicide note with the manager of their Atlanta apartment building saying they were committing suicide because their business had failed and they were recently diagnosed with HIV

They could have mounted it for use as a table saw.

I think there's still a button to hold down.

This is really a travesty. It's like the tool industry doesn't want people without even the remnants of functional hands to operate their deadly tools. We should start a petition.

Don't worry, I'm sure the doctors will give them enough drugs that they won't care that they're broke, HIV positive and have no hands.

What a STUPID method of suicide; painful, messy, slow, and chance-y. Sheesh. If their planning was that bad with their business, no wonder it failed.

Chancey and dangerous for other people, who have to be exposed to HIV-positive blood. If you are gonna kill yourself, c'mon, at least be considerate enough to go outside someplace that can be hosed down, a la the Fantasy Island midget guy.

The poor little guy's organs were too big for his teeny body, he was in a lot of pain. It was very sad.

If you're going to commit suicide by circular saw, go for an artery like the femoral or carotid. Jeez.
