31. Mediated suicide...

Severale such cases are known, people literally begging to be shot.
Afterwards often an empty gun is found on the body, or even letters saying sorry, but they couldn't do it themselves.

It's a kind of suicide where you put yourself in harms way and hope that it will hit you. It has a componente of "higher judgement" because you don't kill yourself, but put yourself in a situation in which you are most probably killed, or if spared you can say "it was God's will."

Weird logic, but still logic.
