My criminal law professor asked. Most of my classmates were silent, while the two or three debaters exploded at each other over that question.
Their voices were tuned out as I pondered this predicament; what would it be like to be murdered? I have been raped before, and I know of the pain that comes along with it, externally and internally. But to be free from this hell by someone else’s hand? Would that be a viable option?
My family would have someone to direct their blame, instead of blaming themselves for my death. The murderer would have gotten their frustration out, and I would be free from  mortality and all of my pain. This contract between the killer and I would not be found void if they can’t prove I consented to my death at their hands. They could determine him to be charged with felony murder if I “gave” him a great amount of money and they suspected my death to be during the commission of a robbery.
Of course, this was a very inappropriate question to be asking the class. Especially since it could be a trigger.

well one way to get this scenario to play out is to hang out on the bad side of town, late at night. Look for the meanest looking thugs you can find out there… Just in case the attackers decide to rape you– tell them you’ve got AIDS, I promise you they won’t want to rape you then. Push their buttons, make them angry as hell, hell even shout slurs at them if you have to (not that I’m xenophobic in any way). Or hell, if nothing else kick them in the balls and then let him get up with all of his homies (if there he’s got his boys with him). That’s how I’d do it.
