Comment on For some reason suicide is illegal. If someone is going or trying to commit suicide and get talked down are they still in trouble or get locked up or sent to a medical facility?

  There is a gray area where assisted suicide/euthanasia isn’t legal. Shall you take 20 or 30 years of jail for helping your loved one to end their suffering or shall legally murderer get away with suspended sentence/probation.

  A clear legal context for assisted suicide suicide solves the debate

    Legal in Oregon! You need a lot of paperwork, but if you’re terminal it can be done.

    Or straight up legal and recommended by doctors in some countries. Depends on where you live.
