If invited, would you watch a livestream? How about a request from a close friend?

[steppingoff]

I would say yes if it were a close friend and/or a method I intended to use.

 

[LunarCharm]

I would say yes, solely because if they are personally requesting that I join; I would want to fulfill that last request.

No why would you want to watch someone die?

Also sounds sketchy legally. Failing to act could lead to prosecution if the police found out.

 

[grahf]

I would say yes

 

[BrainShower]

No thanks.
Just because its a private act to end a private life ( in my case ) and I wouldn't be able to apply different criteria to another person, although I won't judge anyone for doing differently.

 

[CloudyNightSky]

Probably. I don't rlly have a problem with graphic stuff and if it helps them in any way why not. I think even if it's a complete stranger

 

[Forever Sleep]

Only for a very close friend if they didn't want to be alone. Not out of some gory fascination- not livestream anyway.

 

[rozeske]

If it's my method, probably (the livestreamness of it might make me uncomfortable). A close friend? absolutely not!

 

[willitpass]

No. I have no interest in watching someone die. I do not believe in the whole "suicide is beautiful" thing, for one. For another, the trauma that would come from witnessing someone dying, especially watching them play out the steps of suicide, I would never be able to live normally again. Legal implications aside I just don't see why someone would want to do this.

 

[steppingoff]

This is a tough question isn't it.

As a person who plans to livestream I'd appreciate if someone was willing to witness it. It does make your life feel seen. .

But I get it. It's not something that is easy to watch. It's also different when it's live versus recorded.

Probably why I intend to have it recorded as well

I agree with this. It isn't entertainment or educational, it's a real person dying, I don't know why I would in anyway want to watch that personally. The only reason why I would do it is if it is a friends last wish and I knew it was important to them, and I would be doing it at great cost to my own person, it would stay with me forever and probably replayed over and over again in my mind, but I would do it if it was important to them.
