Nuclear Suicide Coffin
Put a nuclear bomb inside a far-off coffin, for an instant death, preventing the potential deaths of millions. | |
Some people do prefer to commit suicide, with reasons that could be deemed reasonable from some perspectives, such as absurdity of life, or curiosity to check out what happens to one's consciousness when one dies, or as a selfless desire to use up the bomb before it kills millions.
There are all kinds
of painless suicide methods. This one relies on the instantaneity of flesh disintegration just beside an exploding nuclear device. The person inside such coffin would have two buttons: green and red one. The rest is choice. No one else gets killed except, perhaps, the suicide bomber.
Maybe these kind of suicides could be subsidized by governments, as parts of nuclear disarmament programs, and media could portray such acts as heroic attempts to avoid a nuclear war.
(inspired by the theircompetitor's idea "Schrödinger Boxification.")

Men usually choose more violent suicide methods which
accounts for a higher rate. |
|

[-]: is it because government would better not be accused of helping anyone commit suicide (and that's against what government ought to do: e.g. cure a person), or because it adds unnecessary nuclear pollution, or for some other reasons? What could be the worst thing about it? |

I imagine various deaths for myself. The countdown is cool with everybody though, so I'm in too. |
|
| |
That countdown is out of synch for most people. |

A rainbow of lasers could be beautiful, but it would require enormously powerful lasers, or a great number of them to be painless. |

I'd like to captain a balloon of hot air into these beams. |

After fifteen hundred years of youth and health count me in. |

Would you have to have a cat in the coffin with you? |
|
| |
It will depend on the color of the button pressed. |

It is highly unlikely that the user will be able to
detect the difference between atomic
evaporation and mere conventional explosives. |
