About: Suicide pill

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A suicide pill (also known as the cyanide pill, kill-pill, lethal pill, death-pill, or L-pill) is a pill, capsule, ampoule, or tablet containing a fatally poisonous substance that a person ingests deliberately in order to achieve death quickly through suicide. Military and espionage organizations have provided their agents in danger of being captured by the enemy with suicide pills and devices which can be used in order to avoid an imminent and far more unpleasant death (such as through torture), or to ensure that they cannot be interrogated and forced to disclose secret information. As a result, lethal pills have important psychological value to persons carrying out missions with a high risk of capture and interrogation.

dbo:abstract
  • La píldora del suicidio (o píldora letal) es una píldora, cápsula o tableta que contiene una sustancia altamente letal (normalmente cianuro) que una persona ingiere deliberadamente para causar su propia muerte de manera inmediata, esto es, para evitar una muerte inminente y mucho más dolorosa (por ejemplo, por medio de tortura) o para asegurar que no pueda llegar a ser interrogada y revelar información secreta. Como resultado, la píldora del suicidio tiene un alto valor psicológico para la persona que lleva a cabo misiones con un alto riesgo de ser capturada e interrogada. Su principal ventaja es la facilidad de ocultación durante la inspección, al contrario de un arma de mayor tamaño que pudiera ser confiscada. (es)

The term "poison pill" is also used colloquially for a policy or legal action set up by an institution that has fatal or highly unpleasant consequences for that institution if a certain event occurs. Examples are the poison pill shareholders rights amendments inserted in corporate charters as a takeover defence, and wrecking amendments added to legislative bills. (en)
