there. anyways. the point is, when you incourage someone to commit it, its assiting suicide, acomplice to murder, whatever you call it. i can't really find te article from this year, which im still looking for right now.
A flippat remark, is hardly "encouraging" suicide. The defendant in the article actively convinced the lady to commit suicide, and even went so far as to give advice as to how she should go about doing it. Actively.

"Transcripts of multiple chat sessions — released by police and shared with the Ottawa Citizen by Nadia's parents — allegedly show Melchert-Dinkel attempting to persuade her to hang herself while he watched."

I udnerstand that assisting in suicide is against the law. I'm just saying that a flippant remark is not assisting suicide. Earlier you were saying that what was said was illegal. I am saying that unless you're in Minesota, it is not. Again, I am not disagreeing with the statement that "assisting suicide is against the law" I am saying, however, that a flippant remark is not even remotely assisting suicide.
