*** However, in the ''Next Generation'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E7Reunion Reunion]] Riker notes that Klingons consider suicides that [[TakingYouWithMe cause the death of an enemy]] to be an honorable way to die.

*** Klingons were known to engage in ritual suicide if disability forced them to be a burden on their families. When Worf was badly injured in an accident, he asked Commander Riker to serve the role. Riker heatedly refuses, [[WhatTheHellHero castigates Worf for choosing not to fight to survive like so many of their comrades did]], and points out that Worf's son Alexander is old enough to perform the ritual instead. Specifically, Klingons can't kill themselves as it's dishonorable, so asking a family member to do it is a way around this. In a ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' episode Worf's brother Kurn asked him to perform this duty after his family had been stripped of their titles and honor by Chancellor Gowron. When Worf doesn't go through with it, and various efforts by Kurn to [[SuicideByCop die in the line of duty]] fail, Worf comes across his brother drunk with a disrupter in his hand, trying to work up the courage to shoot himself in the head, which would mean eternity in Klingon hell, "but at least I would be with other Klingons."
