Topic	19 y/o Kid BOUGHT a GUN for his 17 y/o FRIEND to KILL HIMSELF!! Is he Guilty???
Aaantlion 09/14/19 11:46:58 PM #15:	Gaawa_chan posted... There's not enough information here for me to draw any sort of conclusion about the situation. I'm in favor of suicide and assisting a suicide not being crimes for the most part, and if the guy genuinely thought he was helping his friend then I can't really fault him for it save to say that they should have held out a year. On the other hand, he may be a vile person who was in great part responsible for the victim choosing to commit suicide, but unless there are records proving that, there's no way he would admit to it. The fact that he was present when his friend died suggests to me one of two possibilities. Either he was wanted to see it... or he was there for moral support because his friend didn't want to die alone. Advocating assisted suicide for a healthy 17 y/o is fucking insane (and that's before even getting into the fact that he's a minor). Suicide is closely linked with depression and other mental illness and, as such, actually trying to help somebody who wants to kill themselves isn't a matter of helping them do it, but instead getting them the help they need. Suicide absolutely needs to be a crime because it gives the government a greater ability to intervene and save peoples' lives. streamofthesky posted... Gaawa_chan posted...

I'm in favor of assisted suicide too, but it should be somehing done by a licensed medical professional only. Otherwise you get cases where some guy helps someone commit suicide and you can't be sure if it was an act of mercy or some sicko preying on the emotionally vulnerable for some disgusting sort of thrill. Anyway, in this case it says he only knew the victim two weeks, so I'm extremely skeptical he had developed much attachment and caring towards the victim... Yeah, if anything, I'm tempted to suspect that the new "friend" may have helped steer him in that direction or killed him then tried to make it look like a suicide. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| <cite>Aaantlion posted [p:927451915] in 19 y/o Kid...
