Hire someone to give self lethal injection to commit suicide. Has anyone ever heard of this or thought of this

Dr. Kovorkian used to assist people in assisted suicide. So, it has happened. Your friend is going through depression. Try and help him through it. Suggest going to seek professional help.

Yes; you should be concerned. Talk to him and see if you can get him to a counsilor. Joking about committing suicide is a HUGE sign that he might actually try it.

And Assisted Suicide is considered murder (at least in the US)...it's not legal.

One of the number one signs of an upcoming attempt at suicide is TALKING about it. Take it seriously.

I'd be concerned. Call a local mental health office, crisis intervention hotline, or somewhere to talk about this and get help for your friend.

does he say anything else related to killing himself? does he have a lot of pills around or a gun? sometimes when people are depressed, they think about it or wish someone would put them out of there misery. be supportive of him, let him tell you how he feels, and give him the number to the mental health hotline in his area. if he ever tells you he's going to hurt himself, call 911. his life is worth it., even if he gets mad at you.

It is called euthanasia. It is typically carried out with the request of a sick person. Search "DR Death Euthanasia"

People think about all sorts of things. Some people have particularly dark senses of humor.

Be more cautious than concerned at this stage. Make yourself available for him and be proactive if he outwardly cries out for help.

The key thing to look for are radical changes. Lingering dark depression, that isn't laughed off. Significant change in habits quitting work, giving stuff away, big high followed by big lows.

I think at one stage or another 50+ % of people have considered, joke about or spoken about suicide, more so out of grief or frustration than than serious consideration.

Dr kavorkian sparked this line of questioning a long time ago. Many laws were enacted. Health care professionals will not on ethical/legal grounds, and should any amature it would not be assisted suicide but an accessory to murder. Your friend may entertain this idea but in reality I fail to see it happening. He should seek mental help though. Depression can be treated in many ways now. May be a simple chemical imbalance.

i think about suicide but i would never go through with it..

but i would be kinda worried if someone else was talking about it.
just talk to him let him no you are there if he needs you

This guy tried to do that a while ago, and now it's illegal. I don't think it's right because there are other options. If your friend wants to commit suicide than you should get help. Tell someone like their parents or call a suicide helpline you can search for one on google probably. I would be concerned.

I think it is normal to think of suicide, I am studies would prove this out. However he is taking it a bit farther, I would worry about him if I were you. Maybe a good sit down and talk to him about it is what he needs to talk about and that is his feelings. Maybe professional help is called for, but I am not sure how you decide that.

Edit: I guess what I am saying is by telling you this he is asking for your help. So help him, not to suicide but help him some way to show why he is better off alive.

He has to be thinking about suicide, anyone in their right mind wouldnt think of something like this... you should talk to a counciler and get further details and also sit down with your friend and tell them its not even funny to do that kind of thing.

pee_bag

your friend needs serious professional help from pyschiatrists and medical doctors... coz your friend is obviously on the brink of breaking down mentally

Dumb Dave

You need to advise someone about your friend. Tell your parents or a school consular or a pastor but let someone know about your friend. Your name doesn't have to be used at all but tell a professional. If you friend does commit suicide you will feel a big loss and feeling of guilt for not to mention his family..Step-up now and be the guy that saved the life of another. Please take this advice seriously.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian is the name of a guy that assisted people in committing suicide. He did this over 130 times. I think he got out of prison last week because he has a life threatening medical condition.

Depends, if he laughs about it hes just being an idiot and don't worry about it until he gets serious, If he says it seriously, then tell anyone, even another friend and pray they tell someone who can help him.

Better do some research or get a GOOD lawyer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kevorkian

Jack Kevorkian, M.D. (born Pontiac, Michigan, May 29, 1928), is a controversial American pathologist. He is most noted for publicly championing a terminal patient's "right to die" and claims to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He is famous for his quote "dying is not a crime." Imprisoned in 1999, he was serving out a 10 to 25 year prison sentence for second-degree murder in the 1998 poisoning of Thomas Youk, 52, of Oakland County, Michigan. He was paroled early in December 2006, due in part to a terminal illness he was suffering from.[1]

Kelsey C is 100% correct. I'm a lawyer who has represented mentally ill clients.
