To all those who answered my questions,
I am truely sorry as to invoke emotions which would cause you to answer such trueful and almost uniform answers. Let me put your minds to rest as there is no immediate danger to my or anyone else's life. You see I am a college student majoring in the field of psychology, and the questions, while morbid, were intending to study the trends of a public forum. The 30 min. study was intended to research two human traits, 1 being the actions that would be caused by the visibility of someone in a life threatening situation, and the 2nd being wheiter or not their would be followers of deviant trends after someone commented to the fact of cheering or assuring the nature of the questioning in a manner of disrepect. I am not refering to those who meant to answer honestly but assuringly but to those answers that did not go into detail but just cheered on the troubled individual. The study was intended to run 24 hours but do to the fact that Ive recieved...

The hemoglobin molecule transports oxygen to the tissues of your body.
Unfortunately, carbon monoxide will also bind to the hemoglobin molecule. It binds 200 times better than oxygen and is 200 times harder to dislodge than oxygen.
CO exposure reduces the ability of blood to transport oxygen. Too much and that reduction becomes fatal.

hi there, Research suggests that high carbon monoxide levels may play a major role in triggering heart attacks. When you breathe in a lung-full of cigarette smoke, the carbon monoxide passes immediately into your blood, binding to the oxygen receptor sites and figuratively kicking the oxygen molecules out of your red blood cells.

The CO displaces O2 as the final electron acceptor thus depriving the cells of the needed disposal of metabolic processes.
Death occurs in a short period of time after the maximum permissible exposure level is reached.

carbon monoxide overpowers the blood stream thus depriving the brain and body of the oxygen needed to sustain life
and the body literally suffocates to death as cells in the brain and organs die
