Should telling someone how to commit suicide be illegal?

committing suicide is illegal, so yes....kind of like telling someone how to rob a bank

 

I don't think so, personally. Heck, in one of the cases it sounds like he tried to tell her to hang herself instead of drown in a river -- yet she still chose the river.

How to rob a bank:

 

Put on ski-mask

Write note saying, "Give me all your money in small, unmarked bills."

Walk into bank.

Hand teller note.

Take money bag and run out of bank

 

 

You seriously think that's a felony?

It's only illegal to tell someone how to rob a bank if you know they intend to rob a bank and your advice materially contributes to the crime...then it becomes a consipracy charge, and not a particularly strong one at that.

Why the hell not? Suicide should be 'legal'. So should euthanasia or assisted suicide or whatever you want to call it.

 

How about if people just mind their own f---ing business when someone else is deciding whether or not they want to end their life?

 

Yeah, "home of the free". What a joke.
