If death handed you a magic death pill that'll kills you instantly, would you take it?
Happiness disguised as a tragic accident or death by natural cause. Whichever you prefer.
This is a one in a life time offer. You can't summon death or expect him, he'll just comes out of nowhere.

Of course the catch is you have to take it right then and there.
No time to say your goodbyes, last wishes, eat your last meal, etc.

Also, if you choose not to take the pill, death has agreed to change your life for the better and everything that made you suicidal will disappear. Would you take that risk?

Edit to add a twist:
Death likes to play games.
There's a chance he's serious, or he's just playing games with you.
It could be if you took the pill, your life will turn out worse, and if you didn't, your life would be better.
Then there's the chance that if you didn't take the pill, your life would be twice as worse than it already is.
Or death will keep his promise and there are no twists.
What would you do? Pill or not pill?

So, by not taking the pill, litterally all my problems disappear? Of course I wouldn't take the pill then. That's why I'm KTB, to be rid of all my problems. If mr.death made all my problems disappear, why would I want to die still?

There was nothing in this hypothetical senario that implies mr.death was lying to you.

I think the underlying question they are trying to ask, is would you still choose to KTB if all your problems would disappear. In that case, I would not take the pill, have mr.death make all my problems go *poof*, and I could be happy again. That's how I'm interpreting this anyway.

Well under your newly edited scenario, I would absolutely take the pill. The only reason I wouldn't have before, is because it was implied it was guaranteed my problems would disspear.

So if I can't trust mr.death to 100% make my problems go away, I wouldn't risk it, and I would take the pill without hesitation.

most people want ctb not because they do not want to live, but because they want to stop suffering. Under other conditions, of course, everyone would want to live.

I would take the pill and chose to live if I could become a good person by taking that pill. Then I would fill the world with light and be part of the future and make it a place of love. I wouldn't feel and think like I do now and I wouldn't hurt anyone or spread fear because I would love myself and help others. I am a poser and a fake but I wasn't always a poser and a fake and if I cut just cut out all of that and then never loose the good then I would be very happy.
And I would send death a Christmas card every year.

well, yet many of us have problems with the current society of people. therefore, I doubt that the problem can "disappear."
Yes, we can live "normally", but ...
I would still choose a pill.

I guess regardless of what your life is or may be. We all end up the same way. So why not take the short cut and take the pill?
I'd take it.

I don't have problems Death could fix to make me want to live. I just don't want to exist. I never have. I'd take the pill before he finished his sentence.
If my life gets worse instead of me dying, all the more reason just to kill myself on my own.
Either way, I'm dead lol

That's a tough decision, either take the pill, and never have to suffer again, or not take the pill and enjoy the fulfillment of being happy while it inevitably starts to get worse & worse again, hmm...

No if there is a chance everything with be okay and I'll finally be happy. I want to be happy I just cant. I'm in constant pain. I wish this was real. I'm having trouble with partial hanging can't pass out. Tried full didn't pass out for 3 or two minutes honestly don't know before rope broke. Sad I didn't did but happy I wasnt struggling to breathe it's terrible. It can take more than 5 minutes. I live in Florida and honestly want to go on a trip and jump off a cliff 350 feet you're dead instantly. Chances of survival are 2% or something. I believe in the afterlife I'm scared of the unknown but I do believe in it. I don't believe in heaven or hell but I haven't been the best person I'm scared my mistakes are going to be payed for. I don't want people to feel guilty. I want to die painlessly but if this was real absolutely. I don't want to be a burden I don't want to be in pain

I would take the chance of Death fixing my life. If he didn't I would just use SN or N. Hell maybe a shotgun if i'm desperate enough.

@Freedom21: As I understand it, we have a choice whether to reincarnate or not, and it may be a trap of sorts. Choose not to. You're dead, so act like it; tell whoever's asking you "No, no more. I didn't die just to go back there. I want to return to the Source/God/The Absolute. No more. Ever."
