    Do you support suicide assistance?

    Yes thats why I didnt ask a legal question.

    Do you support suicide assistance?

    Ok.. I will edit it if I used the wrong word there.. Thanks P.s: I think it more as "one wants to commit suicide" . Because we usually dont say "I want to attempt suicide" . So he commits himself to it, but then fails . Then you would say he attempted it, right? I see my mistake. -
