Why is also a question as well.

Are you figuring that if you can assassinate your parent, that you'll be adopted by root?

if you know you want the parent to die immediately, then use the builtin exec function: exec replaces the parent process with a process running the exec-ed command.

If you want to kill the parent process only sometimes, or only later, you should probably re-think what you actually need, or how best to do it.
