No one has the right to tell any other person to kill him. Good Lord, can you imagine the consequences if this weren't so? Every two-bit murderer would simply claim that his victim requested that he be killed, and the burden of proving otherwise would fall on the prosecution.

As a society we've flung ourselves right down the rabbit hole, and we're never going to pull ourselves out again until the notion that a human being is his own chattel property is completely laid to rest, both in the law, and in the public consciousness. The notion that "I own my body and can do anything with it that I please," is what has given rise to the mess we're in.
