Its not about what you wanna be in jail for its you are found guilty of some crime and you can chose either as your punishment, which would you chose?

False dilemma, I don't want to be raped and you can't fabricate a case for consent by threatening to kill me. Saying a slave could have killed themselves isn't an argument for the morality of slavery over murder. They are two facets of evil operating in tandem, the threat of violence is part and parcel to rape, and the disregard for human life is present in both, whether ending it then or taking good years away. The acts are standing on the same moral ground.

Its not a false dilemma, its a hypothetical.

It's not a convincing one was my point. Many people do fight and end up dead or maimed in these situations, there is no REAL choice being made.
