Spartacus,

Perhaps our benevolent leaders made suicide a crime so that anyone who "conspires" or "facilitates" the suicide can be made a criminal. Perhaps you eventually can be held responsible if someone kills himself/herself with your gun, knife, car, medication, lamp cord, venetian blinds..... whatever. That way the loving survivors can be hurt twice.

Sorry for the dour mood. I just don't trust 'em like I used to...
