  1. Why is it that humans cannot choose to go out on their own terms in a dignified, peaceful way?

    1. @vriska because suicide is usually instinctive and you'd have to go beyond instincts to decide to do it alone and go all the way

      what is it that makes a suicide peaceful and dignified?

    2. @vriska You can, but "dignified" and "suicide" are incompatible concepts. There are many other ways to go though.

      1. @nerthos I dunno, man. Like, sniveling, whiny, bad poetry suicide is bogus, but "cancer will do it anyway, let's quit on a high note" is a different story.

        1. @scribus There's also seppuku, and ritualistic suicides in other cultures. Those can be considered dignified relative to the value systems of those cultures.
