Committing Suicide: Could you do it?

[Dorian6]

well, 1. if the walking dead were outside, the best option would be to wait it out. Seeing as they're dead and rotting, soon enough the bacteria that exist inside everyone would be slowly eating away at their insides. Before too long (some places sooner than others) they would simply continue to decompose until they are rendered incapable of harming anyone. In many cases the buildup of methane gas (released by the bacteria) would cause the zombies to explode like an undead balloon.

I'd want to stay alive just to see that.

There's a horde of zombies outside, and you've seen what they do to people before they die. So you're left with three options; either wait it out and hope zombies starve to death before you do, try to fight your way out, or turn the gun on yourself.

Either options one or two. Number three is not an option.

 

[JoJo]

I would rather go out fighting than die like a coward.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I fight to the end!

"Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!"

I will never commit suicide. Ever.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

maybe if I went blind and deaf or was going to be imprisoned forever or something extreme like that.

 

[Pegghead]

Nope, I don't believe suicide will solve all your problems.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Ignoring whatever the situation was, no. I've been there before and I couldn't do it... If I could, I wouldn't be posting right now...

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

I have already tried to kill myself twice, I was stopped by someone holding me back on both occasions. I'm better now but I think I could.

 

[martin's a madman]

Well, we'll just see how my university applications go and I'll get back to you.

; D

 

[zombiesinc]

No. It's pathetic.

But some people just don't have that will to live.

Faced with the situation in the OP, I wouldn't agree that it's pathetic.

If it's likely I'm going to die regardless, I would at least try to escape and find some sort of haven. There are bound to be items I can pick up along the way that would suffice as weapons.

 

[Drakmorg]

Nah, I'm way to lazy, plus I'd probably use up all my ammunition on the first zombie I see out of sheer terror of someone trying to bite my arm off.
Unless taking a nap in the middle of a room with zombies threatening to pour in counts as suicide, then I could pull it off no problem.
Though I wouldn't be remembered too well after it's all over, I'd just be "That dumbass that took a nap".

Although, there's a chance that I could wait out the zombies if I resorted to shooting off and eating my toes.
It would be awesome if I managed to pull it off.
"See that guy there, he survived by eating his own Goddamn toes"

 

[RootbeerJello]

I'd climb out on my roof. Let's see zombies get up there.

 

[Lucifron]

No. It's pathetic.

But some people just don't have that will to live.

What? How is it pathetic to quickly kill yourself instead of facing a long and gruesome death at the hands of an undead horde?

OT: In that situation, I believe I would.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

No, I'd rather go out fighting, I'd still die, but in the case of zombies, I'd take some with me, hopefully helping everyone else a little.

I'm pretty sure I'd go with this, if the moment came down to it. If I were incapable of fighting back, or at least making myself useful? I think so. I don't.. think much on it as obviously I am not suicidal, but that's my best guess right now.

 

[Marik2]

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

Right on man

 

[Nixzilla]

I live on the second floor so if the rare zombie manages to make it up the stairs without triping and knocking all his compaions down then I will just use the all powerfull THIS IS SPARTA kick. I also have a mini fridge with like 20 packs of tai pei chinise food and a microwave the only time I would have a problem is if I needed to get to my bathroom as it is on the first floor but I have a guitar from guitar hero and 4 xbox controllers and if all else fails the sparta kick wont let me down it just wont be as cool as sending zombies down off the stairs with it.

EDIT oh and no I could not commit sucide forgot to answer the question lol

 

[Squeaky]

This sounds like macho bullshit but, I couldnt take the easy way out no matter how much pain. Well maybe having my testicles cut into perfect 1cm squares is an exception to this rule. Id always go with the foolish glimire of hope.

 

[Caradinist]

If there are no options and you can't wait it out?

Yeah, i think i could do it. It would take some time for me though.

 

[BonsaiK]

Let's say, for arguments sake, that the Zombie apocalypse is upon us (we all know it's going to happen sooner or later).

You're boxed in a room with no supplies and a standard-issue handgun with 2 clips of ammunition.
[sub]Remember, it's hard to wait out the apocalypse if there's no food to be had![/sub]

There's a horde of zombies outside, and you've seen what they do to people before they die. So you're left with three options; either wait it out and hope zombies starve to death before you do, try to fight your way out, or turn the gun on yourself.

The above is of course just one random scenario. So here's my question to ya;

Given a situation where you face imminent death, be it by starvation, zombie -or nuclear apocalypse, or the chance of survival is infinitesimally small - would/could you take your own life to spare yourself any unnecessary pain?

Bah, why did you have to ruin a perfectly good suicide question with the zombie apocalypse cliche...

I'm not sure what I'd do... but I'd probably wait until I knew I was definitely going to die before making a decision. If I had even a tiny hope of survival I'd probably explore that option first.... can always kill myself later if it doesn't work out...

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

I'd set one bullet aside, kill some zombies with the remaining others, and then take myself out with the first bullet.
