Suicide is when someone takes their own life, and assisted suicide is when you help someone take their own life, often when they cannot do it themselves. There may be a few clinics in some parts of the world where someone can walk in, explain the situation and why they feel that way, maybe be given a waiting period, and if they still feel that way, they will help them die.
