If the need arose, yes.


Contingency plans are made for these things;
Zombie Apocalypse: I'm not killing myself unless I literally had a 0% chance
Nuclear War: Nope, running a slave farm comes first
Incurable Disease: Euthanasia at least leaves me my dignity.
Torture: Depends, severely situational if you ask me.
Starvation: No, if there is a will there is a way I will get food before dying.
Dehydration: I will get water unless I'm in space then I'm screwed no matter what eh?
Huge Meteor: I'd prolly be dead before I even notice it with my luck.
A Grue?: Always carry some form of lighting.

Suicide for suicides sake: never.

I have actually though about this and honestly asking and being in the situation are 2 different things, but to be honest I don't know. It all depends right there and then but if I was going to die I would die having sex. The only way to do it.

Honestly? I don't think so, but I can't say. Being in that situation is something completely different from talking about it.

If the situation was 100% guaranteed to bring me ungodly amounts of pain, followed by a slow death, I'd likely skip the chance to kill myself.

Not because I'm above suicide, but because I'd be wondering if I could indeed survive what was about to happen to me. Also, I don't think I'm strong enough to kill myself. My will for survival is too strong.

While suicide is usually just the easy way out, it's not an easy thing to do. Suicide is something you don't come back from. It's the last decision you ever make, and you'll never know what could have been if you didn't go through with it.

I wouldn't give up that easily. I like life too much.

I'm not religious or anything, I just think suicide is the worst way dying. I'd rather be tortured and then killed than killing myself. Because at least I'd still have that little hope that I would someday get out/be rescued.

I've seen too many movies to say: "Meh, this is a 100% death chance, I might as well commit suicide."

On the other hand, if you are in trouble and you're running away from some bad people who wanna do bad things to you, and you try to do a longjump from one roof to another, a feat you know you aren't going to able to make, and you fall down and die... is that suicide?

Fight to the very end. Take as many of those who would seek to end my life with me as possible.

Defiance against the inevitable. There is always a chance of survival, no matter how small.

i would make a final, desperate planned move before i was tortured. then, in the midst of the agony, i would force myself to bleed into my own lungs. suffocation is better than torture.

In most cases, I'd agree.

However, my grandpa is 87 and hasn't been able to walk more than 60 feet before needing a break since age 80.

He's kept himself going by way of his brain, making witty wordplays and other such things, but he is now slowly losing the ability to do so, simply by old age alone.

I know he hates it. I know he doesn't really care for life anymore.

I'm not sure I'd actually be able to "help him out" if he asked me to, but somewhere I still have some hope that someone would do him that favor, 'cus as it is now, he's stopped living for himself, and is only living for his family.

Despite the pain it may cause me and the other members of my quite large family, I think we're better equipped to handle the pain of his "untimely" departure, than he is handeling his "timely" one.
That's a different situation though. In a case like that. Then my opinion would be different.

No, I wouldn't end my own life. Even if there is a small chance I could survive I would fight. Even if there wasn't I would still fight.

suicide is for cowards, life is pain, anyone who says differently is selling something. Thank you Cary Elwes.

I have a feeling that I wouldn't be able to if it wasn't quick and painless.

For example, a pilot was shot down over Korea and captured.
They locked him up, tortured him, and then attempted to make him announce via live television that they treated him well.
Five minutes before being led out of his cell and forced to speak, he bashed his face against the concrete wall. Repeatedly.
He was so disfigured that they had to cancel the event, and left him to slowly bleed out from the crater that was his head.

That's hardcore, and I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to bash my face into a concrete wall.

My life has been dread to times, many had worse of course.
but I was treated like scum and beaten to a pulp rather often.
But I would never take my life, thats cowardly, no I remained to fight!
and so I did, now I am popular, succsesfull and basically awesome in general.
my minor narcisitic tendensies might also be one of the things in the way of suicide.

No, probably not, as a 100% chance of death isn't technically possible and because of the way we're programmed evolutionarily I'd like to think that that part of myself would fight for every possible second in the hope that that tiny tiny chance might win through.

If you put it that way, I think I could. I would only be able to do it if it were a desperate situation however.

I pretty well want to do it now. So yeah, I guess I would, lol.
But then who would be have to constructively respond to almost all the interesting threads on here with more than a meaningful comment :)


OT: No. I have no reason to consider such a course of action.

I could, but I don't think I would. Ideally I wouldn't and I would fight to the end.
