Making suicide pact
- Carrying out suicide pact
Description
Making a suicide pact involves an agreement between two or more individuals to end their lives together, typically as a response to shared distress or perceived insurmountable problems. The essential action is mutual planning and coordination of suicide, often intended to provide emotional support, reduce fear, or ensure follow-through. Intervention strategies focus on early identification, crisis support, and mental health care to address underlying issues and prevent the formation or execution of such pacts.
Context
When two or more individuals make an agreement to take their own lives intentionally. Such joint suicides are relatively rare, but because the experiencing of death together is the strongest of individual commitments it becomes more difficult to not carry out and may be abused by cults. Is is suggested they are carried out it to put the blame on society.
Implementation
Though suicide pacts are relatively rare, they may result for reasons such as forbidden love and worshipping fatalistic cults.
