Committing Suicide: Could you do it?

[Riku'sTwilight]

I think if it were in a situation where something was coming to get me then I think I would fight for as long as possible before taking my life.

If it were just an average day and I was having a really bad life then no, even though I've thought about it in the past I have realised that I love who I am so if I killed myself I would ruin that.

I've got my own way of committing suicide; not getting married and not having any children - my genes aren't going to live on, yet I still get an awesome life while I can

If they're the slow zombies I would just outrun them like the zombie survival guide said to.

 

[KefkaCultist]

In that situation I probably would attempt to ride it out but ultimately kill myself.
In normal everyday situations, Ive contemplated it but feel like I have something to live for still

 

[gabe12301]

Actually i took fighting lessons from the masterchief so I can just elbow them to death.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

well im not going to kill myself right there. first i will grab blunt objects to smack zombies down with, thene i will open the door and smack them as they come in, if any get to close i will shoot them in the head. i will make sure to have 1 bullet left if they all grab me so i can off myself.....but the odds of that with this stratagy are slim so I will be fine.

I'd grab my shotgun and become Contun: Bane of Zombies; Savior of Mankind.

Seriously, Zombies are slow, and according to the Cracked article mentioned by a fellow member of the escapist [http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html], chances are actually in my favor this time around.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I don't think I can ever turn the gun to myself. I'd probably end up getting killed in my sleep though by the zombies. If all else fails, I'd try and run and gun it.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Nope, sorry, I'm a survivor - even after I emptied the clips into their head, I'd bite their throats out before they even THINK about doing the same to me.

Besides, suicide is somewhere on the top of my list of 'most stupid things to do'. There's always another way.

 

[rokkolpo]

Suicide is for cowards, real men come up with impossibly elaborate plan to escape then flawlessly carry them out...

no those are ''fake'' men.
''real'' men kill themselves.

 

[Ekonk]

Zombies scare the everliving shits out of me, so yes, I'd cap meself in the head.

I'm not sure about the others though. Starvation would ultimately become too much to bear.

 

[Keava]

In such scenario? Id rather get myself zombified and keep the shotgun. With the advanced fire power it provides i could become queen of the zombies in no time. After all as John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven".

 

[SextusMaximus]

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?

SPOILERS! I was planning on watching that later this week >.>

OT: If I had family I would stick by them, if not I would run from the zombie horde, if I couldn't use my legs I would try and take down as many zombies as possible and be eaten

 

[lex.nero]

If you consider martyrdom as a form of suicide then yes, definitely.

 

[Brandon237]

The odds are irrelevant. There's always the smallest chance of survival and that's worth any amount of pain. Plus it's better to die doing something magnificent then impotently in a box.=D

I cannot self terminate. My life has too much meaning, be it to me or people who care about me. In any case, if there's a chance, even faint, I will go for that instead. xD

Pretty much these two. I hate even the idea of suicide, and to me one in a million is still decent odds when it comes down to surviving the apocalypse.

Could I kill myself to save someone I was close too? Now there's an interesting question... that may lead to me actually pulling the trigger on myself.

 

[SimuLord]

I have attempted it for much sillier reasons, so I suppose so.

My thoughts exactly. Although I'm a lot more emotionally resilient than I used to be (stupid teenage angst), I know what happens to me when I cross the Despair Event Horizon.

 

[JLML]

Well, WITH NO SUPPLIES I think I could wait them out, as long as there's a window they can't reach and the weather is on my side. I can go a few weeks with only water after all. If there's no window on the other hand... I'll dig a well!

Seriously though, I'd be able to do it if I wanted to. Hell, I've thought about doing that before for reasons a lot more pointless. Still, only if I knew for certain I can't make it another minute.
