It is against the law in the US to "attempt" suicide...but how can the actual act be a crime? You can't convict a corpse...

While murder in America is illegal, suicide fits that bill. If you believe you are one or a hundred, pull the trigger! They can only give you the chair once right!\n But in all honesty, buy the gun and shells yourself, put that together and then in your mouth and pull the trigger! Save from the world your problem.\n\nI have attempted to phrase this in a manner I thought you would understand.

Yes, that is against the law. I knew someone who was put in jail for a long time for doing that.

1. False. The law says no open containers in the front seat.\n2. True\n3. False\n4. False\n\nIn Texas you can shoot someone... If you are protecting your own or someone elses life. If some one breaks into your property (House, car, office)... you can even shoot them if you catch them and they are running away. If you catch a man in bed with your wife. I think there are more but I forget.

Suicide is NOT ILLEGAL.  It does VIOLATE mental standards and will result in you being LOCKED in a MENTAL WARD, but you DO NOT goto jail for attempting suicide.  This is why insurance policies must exclude it or they have to pay for.  If it was illegal the policy wouldn't have to pay since it was earned through comission of a crime.  \n\nNow assisting in a suicide for someone else will land you in jail on charges of murder/attempted murder.\n\nEDIT:Anyone whos says it's illegal I'd be happy to say I'm wrong if you show me one law stating that.  It's a violation of mental standards, but that results in a mental lockup NOT jail.  There'd be no way to make it illegal since one would be not guilty by reason of insanity in the US.

oh, please don't consider this at all...it is an absolutely horrible thing to do. If you are considering suicide, there are hot lines to call and websites you can go to to get help. It may not seem like it, but there would be people who would miss you terribly. I read somewhere that people who try to commit suicide and don't succeed are glad they survived. It would be a terrible tragedy.

You can not be sent to jail after a suicide attempt.  That is what is meant by it is not an imprison-able or capital offense.  It is not an offense at all.  People who have attempted suicide are often taken to a hospital.  When they are stable, depending on their state of being are either released or taken to a treatment facility.  Attempted suicide is a person's desperate cry for help.  It does not mean they have a pathetic life, it means they have severe depression and need professional help to overcome the despair and sadness in their life.  People who love people who have committed suicide or attempted suicide will disagree with you that no one cares for a person who attempts suicide.  I have a nephew who has attempted suicide twice.  He is under a doctor's care, but struggles with many issues including depression.  Trust us, none of us wants him to take his own life.

;when people commit suicide its like their brains quit working and they aren't really thinking thru things if anything if they were thinking and they believed in God then they would not do it because if God wanted them he would take them but they are doing it themselves.  Suicide might not hurt the person that is doing it but it will destroy a family of that victim

No it is not suicide and the Dr. is not a killer. The paper she is signing is informing her of the risks of the procedure. And if she chooses to do it anyway knowing the risks she cannot hold the Dr. accountable unless he did something that was determined to be malpractice. You sign those papers any time you step into a hospital, dr's office, dentist. even if they are just looking at your big toe.

I suppose it should be someone's choice, however it is the same thing as suicide, only with someone assisting one to their death.  This challenges me to pose the question of if assisting someone in their suicide would be considered a lesser degree of homicide on the accomplice's part?\nToo confusing to go any father.

NO...\n\nTrespass laws in Texas do not make Homicide/Manslaughter legal....the circumstances are very clear, you havt to meet certain criteria, and that's not someone walking acoss your property.\n\n"Deadly force" is authorized to protect property by 9.42 for the following offenses:\n\n(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of\narson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime;\n\nor\n\n(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property;\n\nand\n\n(3) he reasonably believes that:\n\n(A) the land or property cannot be protected or\nrecovered by any other means;\n\nor\n\n(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.\n\nThe first two paragraphs in 9.42 says deadly force can be used under the provisions of 9.41 if the crime is commited after dark.9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:\n\n(1) if he would be justified in using force against the\nother under Section 9.41; and\n\n(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the\ndeadly force is immediately necessary:\n\n(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of\narson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime. \n\nDeadly force is only justified when a person reasonably believes that it deadly force is immediately necessary to prevent another person from committing arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, and theft or criminal mischief during the nighttime. Nowhere in the statue is "Deadly Force" authorized to prevent the immneint commission of criminal trespassing or criminal trespassing during the nighttime.

NEVER !!!!!\nIt does not matter what circumstances are involved, suicide is for people who can not deal with the reality of life, and what they have done with it.\nSome of the above mentioned people are sick and delusional, some were just doing their jobs. BUT none of them HAD to do what they did, they were just to weak to stop it for various reasons.\nThey all need to learn to live with what they have done and try to somehow TRY to correct it, wether just through seeking help or by actively helping society to prevent situations they have caused.\neg - A heroin addict that has beaten an elderly person for money, stolen from people and lied and cheated to his/her family saying one day (f**k the junk I have had enough) and after going through the agony of quitting, then turning around trying to help others through the same process, speaking at schools and in public about the dangers etc etc.\nNO suicide is NEVER acceptable. Women abort lives, babys are still born, innocent children are knocked down by cars - the list goes on - then for someone to make mistakes with the life that they have and decide to commit suicide to fix them is just  a SELFISH act and cruel to the people that have tried to either help or support them no matter how bad their mistake or crimes might have been.\nCriminals could hand themselves in and people that may have cost a life through mistake could appologise for this to the families involved.\n\nTo close this topic - We are all human and sometimes go the wrong way or do the wrong thing but we should never waste the valuable thing we possess known as life. To many sick peolpe want it for others to throw it away.

Honestly, they say it's illegal but (United States) I havent actually seen anyone charged with anything if they attempted it and ended up not dying. \n It's probably said to be illegal because when you become that extremely depressed where ending your life seems the only option- you're probably not thinking as clearly as say, on an average day minus that depression.\n Also, you cant murder people- so it makes sense you cant murder yourself without doing something illegal...\n I do think some circumstances they should allow it for say, cancer patients who are close to death etc...but for others, well- like I said, I havent even heard of them actually charging them with anything.\n They just ask you questions and if you'd like to be committed to a mental care facility till you're less at-risk if you're already an adult. Probably because if they were to charge you with something- you'd be even more suicidal, haha.\n What I'm perplexed about is that there's people who are amazed that (at least in the US) they arent living as "free" here as they thought I suppose. Is it truly surprising it'd be illegal to run your own life and it's span?

Yes, in thirty eight states, the federal (civilian) law and the military.  If you are going to commit murder, better do it in the north-east or northern midwest.  Whatever you do, don't do it in the south.  In Florida, there are stricter rules for euthanizing your pet dog than there are for executing criminals.
