Discussion I need a word that means "being forced to live"

[footballseason]

When a person wants to live but is forced to die, we call that killing, or murder when under more specific conditions.

Now imagine the inverse; the act of forcing a person to live when they want to die.

What word would you use to describe such an act? This word would be analogous to "murder". If no such word exists, what do you think would be an appropriate word to coin?

Edit: I'm looking for a word that specifically and exclusively refers to the concept I described. The word could be used in the same way as "murder". For example, if Person A is forcing Person B to live, B could say to A "stop XYZing me", or "I don't want to be XYZed". Like I said, I don't think this word exists yet, so I'm interested to hear some suggestions for a new, original word. I've considered coining 'homisalve" from Latin salvare "make safe, secure", but it doesn't really work when applied to the examples I mentioned.

Maybe something like 'entrapment', a hostage situation. Intervention maybe- in that we are being forcibly prevented from taking the action we want to.

i think it is called suicide watch, they have that in prisons
this post reminds me of this dream i had of hell where people were being kept alive against there will

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

"protect" with the quotes?
lifemax/lifemaxxing/lifemaxxed?

well killing and murder are the act of bringing an alive person to death. It's not so much about them wanting to live.
So the inverse of that is revival or resuscitation. bringing a dead person to life
There isn't a word for forcing a dead person to stay dead or one for forcing an alive person to stay alive. Probably because you're not changing the state the person is in

Name that action after me cus thats literally me with how my parents trap me in the house so I literally unable to die (don't do that, thats very egotistical of me so bad bad me)

but probably being "suicide watched" is the best word to describe this.

based namelesa
hmmm maybe suistasis would work as a word. suicide + stasis wanting to kill yourself but being unable to forcing you into a state of limbo

 

[Parasitism]

What about to 'coactivive' someone? (merging coactus - forced to with vivere - live both words from latin)

I think it sounds silly but at the same time like a real word you learn in a fortune cookie or something

 

[Liebestod]

Being born.

It's a good suggestion. I live alone but feel trapped by SI more than anything, plus knowing what it would do to the few people that care about me.

 

[PotentiallyWasted]

Being born.

That's a brutally good answer

I don't know about a single word, but a phrase could be hostage of life.
