* The Dalek in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Dalek" was developing more emotions than just hatred - a situation its species could not stand. It had to be ordered to die by someone else, as its training would not let it commit suicide under other circumstances. Rose finally (and reluctantly) gave the order.
* Beth, in the ''[[Torchwood]]'' episode "Sleeper" couldn't actually kill herself because of her position as a sleeper, but because of the grief she'd caused herself, she {{spoiler|took Gwen hostage}} to force the team to kill her.
* The humanoid Cylons on ''[[Battlestar Galactica
** Keep in mind that "real death" is clearly regarded differently from being killed and resurrected. Once the resurrection ship is destroyed, Gina hands Baltar a pistol and tells him to shoot her, as suicide is a sin. On the other hand, Doral has no problem carrying out a [[Suicide Attack]] as he'll simply be downloaded into another body.
* One episode of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' sees Worf paralyzed from the waist down after an accident, Worf is so depressed by his inability to be a [[The Worf Barrage|warrior]] that he asks Riker to kill him using a ritual knife, as dictated by Klingon custom. Riker refuses to kill his friend, and Worf tries to browbeat Riker by calling him a coward, Riker counters with knowledge of the tradition by pointing out that it's the eldest son's duty. Considering that his son is a young child raised by humans, this convinces Worf to try the experimental surgery to fix his back.
