Ablaze with shame

Setting yourself on fire has got to be one of the more terrible ways to go. And if it doesn't work, you'll probably end up with horrible disfigurement from the burns and a lifetime of pain. And I don't think it will erase the shame that a rape victim might feel (the shame that would push someone to suicide in the first place).

A rape victim doesn't deserve to be punished like that (they shouldn't be punished at all, in fact). I wouldn't mind the rapist suffering from a similar fate, though.
