Further Details: When you submit your request to your nearest Suicide Office, you are required to wait a three day "reflection period" in which you can say goodbye to your loved ones/family/SO/everyone yourself, or have the office do it for you. The three days is also there to allow you to reconsider suicide. The suicide is completely painless, and there is no one in the room with you when you die.
Some questions to jog your minds:
- What impact does this have on the nation as a whole?
- How would your family/SO take the news of your suicide request, hearing it either from yourself, or from the government?
- Would the three day period prevent most people from going through with the suicide, or would it have no effect?
- What happens if a powerful public figure decides to request suicide?
