- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoProbably parent means something like creating a much more realistic and believable experience of imminent demise, like jumping off a tall building. The idea being if you can make enough of the brain believe it is about to die it might trigger whatever it is that changes its opinion on whether or not it should commit suicide.
- staticautomatic 7y agoThe feeling is a lot more "I'm glad I didn't die." I doubt it could be replicated in VR.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoSo do I. I was just clarifying what I believed the original comments intention to be.
- agumonkey 7y agoMaybe a slight chance of cathartic fake realization. By enacting what they want to do in VR they'd be able to slightly live through their own emotions, express and realize some things and change their mind a bit.
- DanBC 7y agoThis is far more likely to normalise suicide and to increase rates.
