Christian Exodia Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yes, but it would hurt too much to cut off your own neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Starrk Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 It's called murdercide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Suicide: "the intentional taking of one's own life. " Murder: "the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law." So it depends....do you consider your past self another person?

Larxene Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Due to time travel shenanigans, it's probably not even possible without creating some kind of doomed alternate timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nishi-chan Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 1.) The moment you did, you would disappear, as you would be non-existant 2.) Why the hell would we use the awesome power of time travel to kill ourselves? We would use it for more scientific reasons. Like stopping whoever made Yugioh DMX 3.) To answer your question, yes and no. Yes because it's suicidal, meaning the result of you killing your past self is you being non-existant, but no because you're not [i]directly[/i] killing yourself, you're killing you from a different time period The time travel is a lie, b[b][/b]itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 The moment you kill yourself, you become non-existant, therefore you could never have used the time machine to kill yourself, meaning you were never killed by your future self, meaning you did use the time machine to kill yourself... and so on, and so on, and so on...

六兆年と一夜物語 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I don't really care about the trouble you would have to go through, all I'm asking is if it's technically called suicide or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Percival Cox Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Seeing as how the future you would be wiped from exsictance, Ima say yes. But it could also be counted as murder in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
