You could market suicide with like.. Happy Endings... and have a whole beach scene play before you, or something relaxing, while you are gassed into oblivion. Bam.

 

Your post reminded me of a movie called Soylent Green. I'm sure many here have seen it, and if not, it's time to check it out. Classic Charleton Heston (not really a big fan, but damn interesting movie... that and Omega Man too).

 

:rolleyes:

 

 

As edgy as this topic is, I've been laughing the whole way through. Thanks everyone for your clever, light-hearted, and hilariously inappropriate comments!

hey you guys we may be onto something. this reminds me of a time when me and loricyben saw an obviously "depressed" teenager buying three containers of cough syrup. we both did a double take and laughed uncontrollably. theres money in this here bag!

 

*disclaimer- the author of this post means no harm. if there are any kids that are killed by illigal suicide kits within 40 miles of the earth, the author refuses to be held responsable and looks to the kittens for evidence.

...theres money in this here bag!...

There was an SF short story about a down and out inventor who built a Suicide Box. The user entered the phone box sized contraption and shut the door. There were no windows. Inside was just a padded seat, a coin slot, an engraved set of instructions, and a single spot light. The instructions said that the door would lock for three minutes upon receipt of $5 in coins -- and that during that time, there would be one chance in 1,000 that the person would die.

 

The FDA and AMA could find nothing else in the box. Nothing that could kill or do any harm. Nothing. So, the boxes could not be banned. They were legal. People tried the boxes, which were stationed outside of grocery stores and pharmacies. Mostly just a handful per day. For many weeks.

 

Then one day, the door automatically opened and the person inside was dead.

 

The inventor became a millionaire almost over night.

 

What does this say about Human psychology?? :rolleyes: :)

Suicide kit? Lol. Thats pricless. But seriously, in a way its a good idea. If the person truly hate his or her life, be it, let 'em die. They are making their choice. Dark bright side, you're approving of something that will help lower the ever-so-sky-rocketing human population.

 

I see a problem with someone using this kit to kill some one else, like if the kits has lethal pills. someone can put it into some one elses drink or something among those scenerios.

 

My opinion of suicide is as follows, worst thing you can. I love science, therefor i love knowledge and my mental power. If i choose suicide, it means I lost, i gave up what i am proud of, my mind. To end you're own existance is stupid, as long as you're alive there is always a way to dig yourself out of the hole your in (except for me...I am lazy, i would just die like that.). It kinda goes agaisnt existance laws that I set for myself, to prove existance. Although all you need to exist, is acknowledgement by someone else, but i listed three things that breaks a solid line into existance, 1. you think for yourself 2. You fear you're own demise, you're death 3. You feel unsubsitutional emotions like love. Alas, people who try to commit suicide go against them all, except #1, you're making your own choice to end you're life.

 

But hey! Whatever floats your boat, if you think you're life sucks so badly (no i am not refering to anyone in specific on this thread or site). So if this is truly how someone feels it might not be such a bad idea to sell suicide kits in convenience stores. It should have like a motto in area in that store, "Death, what a conveniece!"

 

Well that was more of a useless rant, sorry for wasting you're time. I don't consider that much to be of an opinion, but I hope it helps anyway.

This thread has taken a rather interesting (and somewhat unsettling) turn. I must admit that I find some of the latest posts hilarious, but I also enjoyed the earlier, more serious posts. I wonder what caused the change? Do people resort to humour because the thought of death makes them uncomfortable? Or do people really think those who seriously contemplate suicide are ridiculous and expendable? :rolleyes:
