I’m curious what kind of inducements would get you to consent to the meat grinder without duplication?


You must not be very creative if you can't think of any. Off the top of my head:

1. Credible threat of ceaseless torture as an alternative.

2. Credible threat death to your offspring.

3. Credible threat of death and injury to many other people.

All of these are reasons people are frequently documented to willfully cause their own demise.


I’m sorry you misunderstood ;-)

I wasn’t looking for a generic list - I was curious about Symmetry’s examples for themselves.


AnIdiotOnTheNet basically got the things I was thinking of so well I didn't feel the need to reply.


Is it really ‘consent’ if you are being threatened with those kinds of things?


4. A reward in the afterlife.
