>>11566710In some individuals, pain is the objective, a feeling of power or revenge.
Imagine you're abused as a child, that this abuse leaves you with psychological problems, and when you grow up you can take revenge.
You can build an underground bunker in your garden, and kidnap your abuser.
You can keep them in a cell, waterboard them with random intervals of days. If they are aggressive, you chop off fingers, making sure to leave the thumb and index.
You see, you have left a noose tied to the ceiling of the cell, and they need atleast and index and a thumb to tighten that noose when they release it's more torture and death.
Why give them an out?
Most religions say suicide results in eternal damnation in hell, so you're covering all the bases.
All that needs to be done is to go into biomedical research, since there is some promise of achieving life extension technology soon. You could torture them for decades, if not indefinitely, and the only way out is suicide
