The current name is misleading; the trope is not about the perception that suicide is painless, but is about people who kill themselves off while being unusually calm about it.
Talk:Suicide Is Painless
I see no need to change it.
Nor do I.
But I just gave a reason: the name is misleading.
Can you convince me that it isn't misleading?
The name is a reference to the theme song of M*A*S*H, which is about the "serene suicide" of Walter Koskiusko "The Painless Pole" Waldowski, DDS.
Alright, in that case, I think the trope would be best illustrated with a video of said scene.
