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?

I could see there being a gray area with assisted suicide if it were legal, assuming that isn’t a separate illegal thing.

“I didn’t murder him, I just helped him out!” - whoever killed Epstein

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.
