Sounds more like a suicide/self harm thing to me.
When you include an unconsenting person in the attempt, it is also murder.
Not a lawyer, but even if they consent isn't it murder?
You can't consent to murder, the best you could do is indemnify someone/an organisation against accidental death.
Genuine question - why not? If someone wants to be murdered, for whatever reason, would that not be them consenting?
You could try to argue some suicide/euthanasia case, but "murder" by definition is intentional death without the consent of the victim.
It sounds much more like an abusive relationship. She was trying to punish him, regardless of the risk to herself.
...no, no, no... only WOMEN can be in abusive relationships.
At least that is the utter bullshit you would believe if you listened to the feminist/white knight rhetoric out there.
This would have been better if you left it untyped.
Clearly you don't want to hear the truth of the general bias of the internet and society as a whole.
A good feminist supports male victims.
We don't have good feminists. The ones we have left don't want equality, they want favoritism. There is a massive difference between the two.
If you attempt to kill yourself and take other people with you, it's commonly called murder/suicide. Killing people with intent is usually murder.
A woman kills family then kills self. Is it murder?!!!! Oh. No, just self-harm.
That's not exactly what has happened here and derailing it using emotional hyperbole won't help either.
Honestly, it's very very similar. AFAICT she was trying to punish him. It has all the hallmarks of an abusive relationship. And an all too common outcome.
If you're trying to kill others along with you, it's not just suicide, it's also murder.
This is why suicidal people are dangerous, it's a relatively small change from killing yourself, to killing others.
This is why pastry chefs are dangerous, it's a relatively small change from baking your bread, to baking others.
This is why being baked while baking with a baker is dangerous. You get too baked and you might get baked by the baker for making bad cakes.
Baking bread and stuff is easier. Have you seen hot fat people have gotten? No way I am getting an adult into my oven.
@ryathal @agressivelyPassive
Have suicidal ideation is in no way, shape or form the same as being the perpetrator of a murder-suicide. Neither is being suicidal a lead-in to becoming a murderer.
Driving a car at 100mph into a building is more than ideation. That's attempted suicide.
What a ridiculous take.

Did you read anything else in that paper...? The words around that statement? Even the abstract?
Or did you google what you wanted to see and post the result, because that paper is not about people harming others whilst attempting suicide. It is barely tangentially about that.
(it's about the impact of aggressive-impulsive tendencies on the suicide...r themselves)
No there may be a small chance of collateral damage, such as this case. But suicidal thinking does not make you think of killing others. You're clearly lucky enough to have never had suicidal ideation, but it never comes near the kind of thoughts that want to kill others
It changes when it comes to acting. If you have the gun to your head, shooting someone telling you to stop is also highly likely.
Let's see some stats on that one because being an abusive murder is a lot different than suicidality.
There is no correlation between her wanting to kill people and her potential suicidality. They just coincidentally line up in this case.
If you feel that way, you might be the dangerous one
Now this is just plain stupidity
I have a relative who was recently given a DUI.
They went to the store, sober, and bought a handle of vodka (1.75 liters) consumed the vast majority, and drove around.
He wanted to die in a head on collision. Selfish fuck.
I don't have a problem with people having the freedom to decide enough is enough, but don't harm others in the process, at least more so than the death would cause. Especially innocent unrelated people.
