Committing Suicide: Could you do it?

[InnerRebellion]

As I've failed numerous times...I'm going to say my answer is no to any other situation.

But in an apocalyptic situation, I'd dance on the ashes and corpses of the dead people as I slowly realize I'm fucked if I don't fight to survive.

 

[Amberella]

If there was a small chance I could make it without killing myself, I'd probably try to escape or just wait it out. My life has too much meaning for me to just right up and end it like that. Besides, my boyfriend and I already have a plan to repopulate after the zombie apocalypse and there's no way he's doing that without me! That's enough drive to get through any zombie horde untouched and not bitten!

 

[Hallow'sEve]

No, because suicide would damn me to Hell, and that's not on my to-do list.

 

[ultimateownage]

Yep, because it would kill you before you feel pain. Easy.

 

[Vhite]

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.

Im glad there isnt much "real" men on the world because humanity would be already gone.

Anyway I would try to run and if I would fail then I would let zombies to "Choke on theeeeem!".

No, because suicide would damn me to Hell, and that's not on my to-do list.

Mainly because of this. If God says its my time then tough luck but I wont decide for him.

 

[Blind Sight]

Hell, I did track for three years and long distance for five, if these are slow zombies no suicide for me, I'd just make a run for it. No point killing yourself if there's still the smallest chance of survival. If the zombies got me, I'd use those last two bullets to take out at least two of the bastards. Death in battle against a truly 'evil' enemy is far better then suicide, methinks.

Of course, I'd totally go out this way if I could:

 

[The Rascal King]

If the Cowboy Bebop movie is as horrible as I think it will be, then there would be no hesitation.

 

[smurf_you]

If I had absolutely no other choice, then probably, seeing as I can't really run, and also I'm not very strong, so the chances of me surviving are like 0.00000001%.....

 

[Murriness]

Short answer: no. Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seriously though, I don't think I would. No matter the situation, my personality type tends to be the type that soldiers on. Of course I say this now, there is always that chance that you never know how you will really be in a situation till it happens. I don't think I would ever just give up though.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I'd fight it out as much as I can. Only when I'm down to my last bullet and surrounded by zombies do I yell "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE MOTHERFUCKERS!"

 

[TheTejs]

in a very little chance of survival
I would go for the survival!
Fuck giving up!

But in a zero percent scenario
to evade the pain? Sure... Why not?

 

[jamesworkshop]

No suicide is for lazy people

If people like this can find the strenght to carry on then I can too

lol at people that think their life is soo much harder than everyone elses

 

[Deviltongue]

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

Im like Mr. Pink from Resevoir Dogs.

You do know Mr.Pink got caught right?

OT: I'd rather go down fighting than kill myself.

This thread is destined to get derailed pretty fast, I reckon.

Unless you've been in a situation somewhat similar to the one described, I don't think you can know for sure what you're going to do. I don't think any one here has had much experience with starvation, but I'm sure that it will wear some one down to the point where suicide seems pretty tempting.

For me, barring suicide, I think I would rather face the possibility of death by zombification than die slowly and painfully and possibly go mad in the process of starvation. But then again I've never been in such a high stress situation and have no idea how I would act in such a scenario.

 

[Sara Fontaine]

In the zombie scenario, I'd probably try and survive for as long as I could. Then if it came down to killing myself or being eaten alive/torn apart... I'd probably pull the trigger. Then knowing my luck, help would turn up 30 seconds later.

 

[GLo Jones]

I'd rather become a zombie than just die.

 

[geldonyetich]

In the "zombies are about to eat you and you got a pistol with two bullets in it" scenario, killing yourself expresses a desire not to deal with being eaten alive. Even in this extreme scenario, it's a mighty cowardice move to simply avoid a moment's inconvenience.

The way I see it, life may be painful, but death is an inevitability. Considering this, there's really no sense in going out of my way to find it.

Given that all suffering is self-inflicted based off of our perception of life, curbing one's habit of mental self-flagellation is the more courageous solution.

To put it another way:

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Doubtful.

I'd probably try my hand at survival, but if I was in a horrible situation in which getting eaten alive is the only outcome, I'd be sure to have at least two bullets available for suicide. You'd be surprised how many people end up in the hospital because of botched attempts at gun-based suicide, still alive albeit missing their faces because they didn't take into consideration recoil.
