You are in the army. You were on a routine patrol with your squad when ISIS ambushes. All your squad is dead save you. You are surrounded in a building. You are injured and out of ammo. You have a cyanide pill. ISIS is coming in the building to capture you. You understand basic Arabic, and ISIS has been yelling that beheading would be too kind to you - instead they are going to burn you to death.
This is the last chance to take the cyanide pill before they capture you. Do you take it and off yourself, or let them capture you and hope for a miracle whereby you are rescued before they extract their vengeance on you, likely by burning you alive?
