Committing Suicide: Could you do it?

[spartan231490]

as long as there is any chance, i would continue to fight for it, suicide is just the coward's way out. If i was definitely going to die, say above zombies had bitten me, then yes, i'd swallow a bullet, but as long as there is hope, i would fight for it.

 

[Guffe]

I wouldn't have the balls to take my own life, I think too much and I have a happy life. So first I would have to imagine myself into a situation were I really would want to take my life and already that is a lot to ask from me. But I've thought about it a few times (If I could do it, that is) and I always come to the answer no.

 

[Caligulove]

I don't know. Zombie apocalypse stuff is always full of fear and adrenaline and stuff. Also get the feeling I wouldn't last long enough to have the luxury of considering suicide.

Here in the real world, though, with the way things are- I still think that Suicide is pretty selfish. Always have a mixed feeling of sympathy and contempt for anyone I know that commits suicide. Not so much that I would smack a suicidal person and tell them to "suck it up" or something, though. It's just that there are a lot of people out there that are willing to help you with your problems at all times. Anyone can overcome whatever it is that's bringing them down like that.

If I'm about to die from loss of food and the zombies break in, just before they can touch me, that is when I'd shoot myself, where there is absolutely no hope for me. I'd wait as long as it took, of course.

 

[luclin92]

no i wont kill myself instead i would go out fighting.

 

[Mechsoap]

its better to live in missery then to die in

same is for zombie apocalypse, i would just start digging the floor and make a mini farm in that earth

I'd likely not do it unless there was an actual reason to do so. I'm a tenacious sonuvabich, I'd try to beat the odds till the very end. If there was a reason to commit suicide, that would be another matter. And by reason, I mean that there would be actual benefits to my death, while my death is assured anyway.

Say, all my friends are incapacitated, but we're otherwise safe in hiding. However, I've been bitten by a zombie and if I don't kill myself I'll turn and attack my friends before they can recover. But I also can't just leave before I turn since that would give away our position. In such a scenario, where I'm dead anyway and my continued existence would have a negative impact, I'd consider slitting my wrists or some such for the greater good.

 

[lacktheknack]

I wouldn't. I can't imagine killing myself.

 

[the rye]

if it were to save myself from unimaginable pain then yes i would blow my brains out. Though in a zombie apocalypse i would prefer to kill myself by riding on the back of a atomic bomb and nuking a bunch of zombies.

 

[VeX1le]

I would duct tape the hand gun with a pole and make a gun that shoots poles..... Dead rising 2 logic is awesome.

Edit: forgot to answer..... no i wouldn't too much of a pussy.

 

[shogunblade]

Im a fast runner, I don't need to suicide

Im like Mr. Pink from Resevoir Dogs.

Ya know he still dies at the end of the movie right?

You do know he doesn't die, right?

and to stay on subject, I tried it the other day (no foo-foo-fooling), obviously, I wasn't met with success, so probably not. I would hope I'd go down in the Zombie Apocalypse in a blaze of glory, because I don't think I could do it (Uh, Suicide, that is).

 

[Thespian]

Okay, assuming they aren't romero zombies that take half an hour to get from one side of the room to the other and begin flimsily flailing their arms against my skill in a manner that invokes more pity than terror, and that they are primal forms of murderous humans who have me outnumbered, let's not kid ourselves. I'd most likely pump lead into one zombies face, the rest into the walls or my foot, then get held down and pummeled into submission until they decide to slowly rip my apart, shaving off clumps of skin until they get to those juicy vital organs required to finally make me stop feeling pain.

Yeah, I'd wait it out as long as I can, but in the end, I'd rather not let them have my brain.

 

[tomtom94]

I think that due to my low pain threshold, no, I would not be able to.

No matter what the situation.

 

[Spacelord]

Naw, suicide is for pussies.

 

[natster43]

I would if it was the most painless option. Though I would not just do it instantly. I would probably try go down fighting, and if that failed and the zombies had not killed me yet I would kill myself.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

let's say I rather go down fighting.

 

[FUAU]

Yeah, I think I could; probably because I've never viewed suicide as something amoral, or cowardly. I figured that once your die, your perception of the world dies along with you, memories, feelings and all. You essentially cease to exist. From a personal standpoint, that doesn't sound so bad, you wouldn't even be able to regret it once it had been done; your capacity to think would be erased, and therefore, your capacity to care.

In this situation the whole moral dilemma of leaving behind loved ones is rendered moot. Presumably, they're already dead, already lost their stake in the world. This decision would be 100% about you. You could chose to kill yourself, and die on your own terms, while sparing yourself a bit of pain. Or you could just wait for death to come and find you.

I suppose either way, it doesn't matter much. In both cases you're rapidly approaching your death. Once everything's said and done it doesn't really matter how you got there -- to you the world might as well cease to exist altogether.

You know, having considered it. That same argument could be made for suicide at any point in one's life. -- "It's all going to end the same way, so why bother?" -- that's very interesting to me.

 

[NorthernTrooper]

Well, both my parents suicided so I guess it's in my genes.

 

[helldragonX]

I would have to try and fight my way out.I'm not one to just lay down and die.

 

[Broady Brio]

I'd empty the first clip shooting zombies if they broke in.

I'd probably kill myself after that.
