Need Advice on committing suicide? Hit me Up!!

[The Saltman]

A former Minnesota nurse who advised depressed people over the Internet about the best way to tie ropes to hang themselves and encouraged one to webcast the event, was found guilty on Tuesday of inciting two suicides.

William Melchert-Dinkel, 48, of Faribault, Minnesota, surfed the Internet posing as a depressed woman planning her own death and looking for people who might want to form suicide pacts, a Minnesota judge found.

At least two people, a British man and Canadian woman, killed themselves within days after exchanging e-mails or chatting online with Melchert-Dinkel, who advised people on the length and thickness of rope needed for a successful hanging.

Mark Drybrough, 32, of Coventry, hanged himself at his home in 2005. Nadia Kajouji, 18, of Ottawa, jumped into a river in 2008 wearing ice skates. Her body was found more than a month after she was reported missing.

Kajouji had told Melchert-Dinkel in an online chat of her plan to make her death appear like an accidental drowning. Posing as a woman who planned to kill herself at the same time, Melchert-Dinkel advocated hanging as a backup plan.

He sought to gain the confidence and sympathy of the victims by using a false name and gender and his "desire to remain covert and anonymous" proved an intent to induce the suicides, Judge Thomas Neuville wrote in his ruling.

suicide is the new fad

but seriously if I tell someone to kill themselves and they do, I get in trouble for inciting?

"A person who willfully, in any manner, advises, encourages, abets or assists another person in taking the latter's life, is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree." Section 2305 adds that incitement is a felony ever if the would-be suicide survives."

At what point to we start counter acting natural selection laws? What if these people are told to kill someone else instead of themselves? We might be saving lives!
