That seems like a rather unlikely scenario. People don&#x27;t just decide they want to die on a whim. And it&#x27;s not like in countries with legalized euthanasia you can just go to a doctor tomorrow morning, declare you&#x27;re not feeling so well, and you&#x27;ll be scheduled for termination later that afternoon.<p>I for one would not assist in any suicide without knowing why someone wants to die, and given that my country has a process that allows for legal euthanasia, I&#x27;m not sure why your hypothetical family member would ask me to commit this crime rather than going through official channels, especially since we are apparently so estranged that I was completely unaware of her struggles and death wish until this request. The best I can do in your scenario is warn the authorities of the suicide risk, and recommend that she does not throw herself in front of a car or train, because it&#x27;s so extremely inconsiderate towards the driver and&#x2F;or passengers, and is that really the way you wish to go &#x2F; be remembered?<p>Oh, and perhaps recommend that if for whatever reason she does find the opportunity to kill herself, don&#x27;t try to poison yourself unless you really know what you&#x27;re doing. Killing yourself with an overdose of painkillers sounds like a really good idea at first, but it&#x27;s likely that hanging yourself or cutting your wrists doesn&#x27;t seem like such a bad way to go in hindsight, when you&#x27;re dying of liver failure over the next few days.
