Russian roulette is a game where a person takes a gun and puts it to their head. They spin the cylinder and if it comes up ’empty’, they are free to keep the gun. However, if the gun goes off, the player is dead. It is considered suicide to play Russian roulette, because there is a high risk of death.
It is also not considered safe to play with firearms, even if the gun is unloaded. There have been many cases of people playing Russian roulette and dying as a result. Some people argue that it is not suicide because the person knows the odds of them dying and they willingly choose to play the game anyway. Others argue that because there is such a high risk of death, playing Russian roulette should be considered suicide.
