If he sought help and was still in the midst of his depression, then unless you pull the trigger or push the needle, you shouldn't be culpable.
One major issue currently in need of redress is pain management. Some people suffering from chronic pain can't get the drugs they need due to overregulation by the gov't. Many eventually take their own lives due to the pain. Is the gov't culpable? No. But if I provide them the means of killing themselves, I may be. The absurdity of this is apparent. The gov't caused the problem, refuses to deal with it in any meaningful way, and I get in trouble because the only seemingly reasonable solution (given the circumstances) is one the gov't says is illegal.
Several doctors have lost their licenses for providing "excessive" dosages and prescriptions in managing patients' pain. How is that helping anyone?
