> Why on earth is suicide still illegal??? 
 
So that accomplices and conspirators can be prosecuted.
This would apply mostly to mass religious-type suicides,
and mercy-killing scenarios.

Incidently, the USENET rules specifically prohibit discussing
how to perform illegal acts.  So I say, get the discussion
of suicide techniques off the net.
