== Anime and Manga ==
* {{spoiler|The Original Reinforce}} in the second season of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' has Nanoha and Fate <s>kill</s> seal her program because if they didn't, her Self-Defense Program that killed would regenerate itself.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* A similar example to the above occurs in ''[[Lucifer (comics)|Lucifer]]''. Due to a promise she broke as a temple maiden, a Babylonian woman is punished with immortality; as a particular condition of the immortality, every day for the last four thousand years has featured her miscarrying her fetus. She ends up seeking out a bargaining chip for Lucifer, who revokes the immortality and watches as she blows away to dust.
* In ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', Professor X had been mostly transformed into an alien Brood (the Brood life cycle: an implanted embryo takes over the host's mind and eventually transforms their body) but when the X-Men managed to take him down he had enough control to beg Cyclops to kill him. Cyclops' response was essentially "Screw that, I'm [[Take a Third Option|Taking A Third Option]]."
* ''[[2000 AD
* ''[[A History of Violence]]''.
* A story arc of ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]'' has the Thing, being possessed by Dr. Doom, put the Torch in a death hold. Doom is laughing that the only way to stop him is to kill him—that is to say, kill Ben. Ben manages to wrest just enough control to tearfully tell Reed to do it. For once, Reed gets stuck in a situation where he can't [[Take a Third Option]].

* This occurs twice in ''[[Stray]]''. {{spoiler|Adamska does it at Shadow Moses for his older alternate-future self, who had [[And I Must Scream|spent three years after his supposed "death" being used in the Patriots' Cyborg Ninja project]]. Esau later requests this of Otacon after he's gravely wounded.}}
* ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' has {{spoiler|Ryouko Asakura}} asking Kyon to kill her, mentioning the trope name word by word, because [[First Time Feeling|she can't stand feeling guilty]] due to putting Kyon's sister in peril.
