It is almost impossible to distinguish murder in such an instance. Besides, it does nothing against the "pressure to die" problem. That is why I think one should have to run some risk of prosecution before assisting in a suicide.

Slavery is evil. It is not simple negation. Similarly with the other things. As far as refusing to respect his wishes goes, it is a matter of conscience for the individual. There are too many people, though, who, when depressed, sought to take their own life, were prevented, and were later glad to have the opportunity to finish their business in this life for me to take the mere expression of wishes as final. Anyway, I think the bar should be high, that is all, since the procedure is drastic.
