Natural for the MA anyway. Perhaps the sons are dedicated enough to suicide without the protocols, but, is everyone else, does textev say? What exact method does the suicide protocols use to kill anyway? It isn't like a secret tooth one bites down on, breaks, and releases a nasty poison or neurotoxin. Also, I wonder whether the protocol method is a bit more humane, making the victim see nice imagery or something, like Shangri La, before he dies, along with a feeling of euphoria. They always seem to be so resigned to the notion of dying.
In the cases we know of, where a post-mortem has been performed, and suicide or other external methods are not used, the immediate cause of death has been either a massive coronary, or a cerebral vascular event (stroke or aneurysm). There are other cases which seem to use these methods as well, although they have not be verified by autopsy.
