Assisted suicide

From Conservapedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Assisted suicide is when someone facilitates the suicide of another person. This usually refers to supplying the means (drugs, weapons, or situation) for the other person to be able to take their own life. Technically it is different from murder or euthanasia as the action of terminating the life is in the hands of the person who dies. However, morally the assistant is an accomplice to the act and may be legally guilty, though the person who is to die would not be guilty of a crime whether or not he or she survived (in the United States).
