Is Consensual Homicide Considered Murder??

[Devauzamaki]

I remember reading somewhere that some guy volunteered to be killed and eaten by some cannibal guy.

The law didnt know how to approach the case cause the guy had sign an agreement saying he could be killed.

Weirddddd

Suicide accomplice?

Isn't suicide illegal?

 

[V h o]

Umm? I don't think so.. Although it may be different according to other countries laws. Either way person is crazy to allow some to kill them.....Zzz

 

[InfiniteMugen]

I think so, this isn't like your friend wanted you to pull the plug cause he was dying or something. Just sounds like 2 dumb f cks, It should be considered a murder, who the f ck doesn't have the sense to not go along with that??

Why should homicide be illegal in the first place

Pretty sure that's not real. There was just a story of a girl who volunteered to have her finger cut off so the guy could do a shot of blood I think that's what you're thinking of. Also, I'm no law expert but, I think you're talking about assisted suicide, I've never heard the term consensual homicide before but they're more or less the same idea. Which is illegal.

But are they though?

We allow people to kill us all the time. Hospitals, military, prison, gangs, tricks(***** lovers), etc..

All are consensual adults besides the gang and ***** bit mehbeh1

Giving consent to homicide is no longer homicide, its assisted suicide. The same way giving consent to rape is no longer rape, just ***.

Because nobody wants to be killed or live in a society without order.


OT: I don't care if dumb f*cks like that are dead anyways but jail will do. I'm pretty sure you get charged for encouraging a suicide, so killing someone should be worse.

Nobody wants to be killed but everyone wants to kill in some way or another, and why not? Society can be attributed to many of the downfalls of humanity and of the soul of human nature.

its illegal in the us
although personally i think it should be legal, i support assisted suicides aka euthanasia
i think its everyones right to do what they want with their life/body as long as it doesnt directly harm someone else without their consent

Then that is something you discuss with a doctor and they only consider that if your suffering or are severely disfigured and it does hurt other people not physically but mentally and mental trama can be much worst then physical

thats your opinion but i disagree, everyone has the right to end their own life out of free will whether theyre injured, diseased, or completely healthy.
any emotions others may feel about someones actions is unfortunate but its not their decision to make, its not their life, and their emotional connection to what happened is purely their own and should only be taken into consideration by the person whos deciding whether or not they want to end their life

its everyones right to die

It depends some arent in their right mind survivors of attempted suicides have regreted their attempts while those that didnt did it on their own this its my body i will do what i want mantra some cling to yes its your body and what you do is of your own voilation but there is an extention of what you cant do like you cant have someone assist in your suicide or it instantly becomes homocide meaning said person is liable for prison time so your selfish request causes them to lose 20 to 30 years of their lives because nikki wanted to die but couldnt and had jake kill her no amount of paper work will convice the authoritys otherwise because such things have been used by killers trying to escape being prosecuted

In this alleged cannibal-case, this is of course a crime. You can't say "hey, you can murder and then eat me". Cannibalism is a crime. However, in my opinion, every person has the right to end their own life and do with its body what he/she wants. As long as no one else is harmed by it (for example becoming a wrong-way driver and crashing into other people or flying a plane into the mountains is obviously not okay). If they don't want to live anymore and thought it deeply through, meaning they didn't try to kill themselves after they "blew a fuse", then I'm fine with suicide. The same way I'm fine with assisted suicide, like when someone is terminally ill with cancer for example.

It is difficult to judge actions with blanket laws because the world is not simply black and white; it is all about perception and circumstance. Buddha had told a story that in a past life he sacrificed himself to a starving tiger that did not have the energy to feed her cubs. The Donner party in 1846 began eating those who died after they became stranded during the winter. Are those examples of suicide and cannibalism? Yes, by definition. Are those actions morally reprehensible?; that's debatable. Why is murdering someone in combat considered heroism, but murdering your child's rapist illegal (though you may illicit sympathy from a jury)? What about a samurai during the Sengoku period who committed seppuku if he was dishonored so that his child and spouse could keep their wealth and status?

Of course there is a difference between morality and legality. Murder is the legal term for taking a life. Laws are meant to be black and white in an attempt to be objective, whereas morality is subjective and cultural. Of course, many laws are based on ancient civilization's concept of morality and religion. This is why laws vary greatly between cultures. So yeah, the answer to this question can only be answered by a context of someone's culture. In my culture I would say it is murder (legal act of taking a life), but not immoral (as long as the victim was able to rationally come to his conclusion).
