Horrible, horrible decision

Read above edit. Then reconsider your position. Without the name calling...I mean after all, apparently you can be convicted for it and that's okay.

I haven't done any name calling. Perhaps you should go back and read what I wrote.

Assisted Suicide is a separate issue altogether. In MA, we voted for it a couple years ago....narrowly missed approval.

The rules, scenario, and allowance would be very scrutinized. Requiring certain medical conditions, multiple psych evals, and second opinions. No single person or entity could just assist all alone.

Personally, I voted yes. I read all the requirements that it would take, and want people who are end of life / terminally ill to be able to maintain what they feel is a sense of dignity.

I personally believe that any adult, after thorough psychological evaluation, that is of sound mind should be able to end their lives if they want to and be given the tools to peacefully do so. Forcing someone to live in a state of agony or misery is just plain wrong and cruel imho.

Repeatedly encouraging someone to take their own life is not flippantly yelling at someone randomly.

Intent definitely matters, and was pertinent to this ruling.

For those who disagree, and claim that it sets precedent. To what exactly? Be aware of the cases details before replying.

This. It wasn't a couple of text messages here or there. It seems to be a relentless barrage of "You need to do this" type of messages. It says she was even on the phone when he was doing it. The asshole is pure evil, plain and simple.
