Would you assist your SO in a suicide?

[NJmaverick]

we are talking about one motivated for medical rather than emotional reasons.

[Strong Atheist]

1. Yes. Did it for my furkid.

Edited: May do it for myself one decade...

[suninvited]

2. yes

[stray cat]

3. Under the right circumstance - for example giving appropriate pain medication for pain

in a terminal situation.

[sarge43]

4. If and if

Terminal, extreme pain and thought it through? Yes.

[rug]

5. No.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Without question...

[HopeHoops]

7. If she was in pain with no prospect for survival, then yes, without question.

Legal or not.

[Moondog]

8. Only hypothetical in my case, but yes. n/t

[hippywife]

9. Yes.

If it was terminal and there was lots of pain, and quality of life and degraded significantly.

I've already asked my SO to do it for me, too. Actually, if I'm still able take myself out, I'm doing it as soon as I'm no longer able to get to the bathroom under my own steam. I ain't livin' that way.

:hi:

[Dystopian]

10. Yes, with fear, but yes...

My youngest son and I made this pledge to each other many years ago. I wonder if he remembers. I don't have an SO, but would do it...with the fear of going to prison. I would die there, as I have extreme anxiety, and am so claustrophobic that I would indeed die. So....I would, but then don't know what would happen to me, or if I would just happen to go with him...

You ask some very intense questions, and this is the first one I've responded to.

peace~

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Would I? Of, course the answer is "yes". However, there would be stipulations and conditions.

I wouldn't do it just willy nilly as your question asks.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. ^

with much conversation, hesitation, reservation and forethought.

[elocs]

12. I have no SO and never will, but I would if I did. n/t

[quakerboy]

13. Yes, with reservations

Knowing her family has a history of mental illness, I would have to be 100% sure that it was for medical reasons.

That is a heartrending question.

[Iggo]

15. yes

[Bucky]

16. I suppose the option "one motivated for financial reasons" is off topic

Also, does it have to be an actual suicide, or can it only look like one?

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Yes, I think so, if he was terminal and pain was no longer manageable.

[Zavulon]

18. I'd like to think so if she was in that much pain, but I honestly don't know...

...and neither do most other people. You have to be in that situation to truly know, you can't just say you would and expect the rest of us to take that as gospel.
