With a chainsaw? No. Filling my butt with honey and sitting on a red-ant hole? Yes.

If the goal is to end permanent eradication of hunger worldwide by the ending of my life, why would the chainsaw matter? Now, if ending my life solved the problem, wouldn't that imply that I was responsible for the problem? For example, I caused worldwide hunger or that I am suffering from hunger or there is a short supply and I am eating or wasting more than my fair share. If it is the first, what would make you think a powerful person like this would end his/her life? If it is the second, wouldn't I already be on the path to death maybe not by my own doing because I am not getting enough nutrients to stay healthy? And if so, wouldn't all the hungry people in the world be on the same path? And if they were on the same path, wouldn't that mean that hunger worldwide will eventually cease assuming we don't have people out there (humanitarians, charity) trying to keep them alive? In which case, I wouldn't need to end my life. If it is the third, why me? Why not all the fat or obese people in the world or those who throw away a ton of food garbage. If it is the third, there are better solutions such as grow more food, exercise the obese, unprotect the endangered animals (sorry, Darwin said it: survival of the fittest), etc...
My point is that the problem is not hunger. It is something else and hunger is just one of the many symptoms of the real problem.

To end the poverty ,stability is one of the important factor. Only money may not solve the problem. A great deal of voluntary efforts are also needed to end this problem.

Maybe with a thousand rats or by jumping in a volcano... but not with a chainsaw.

How about you try it first and if it works then I might think about. But it is a sin to kill yourself so would you rather go to hell or live in this world.

no. and i'll tell you why.
people have to either be held accountable and take care of themselves or their people will die anyways. that's just life. i'm too precious to waste on people who can't take care of themselves and instead want to leach off the American dollar that I have worked at this BS job for. So no way

What kind of asinine question is this? Give yourself a little more credit and try to ask a halfway sensible question?

No. The end does not justify the means.
