Assisted suicide is murder, because you helped someone kill them self, and even helping to kill someone that isn't you is called murder. The only murder there is is stealing, when u kill someone, ur stealing another person's right of a friend, and ur stealing their fammily's right for a cousin, brother, father, mother. etc.
