cw assisted suicide discussion continuing.....

[There's coffee if you want it Max, this could be a long one.]

Not especially. It's a thorny topic the world over, and crops up in debates frequently over whether it should be made legal or remain illegal. I'm no expert in it myself.

But as an example... if I were called to a case where a victim had been given an overdose of medication by their partner without first obtaining a court order and permissions from relevant physicians, and the case didn't take place in a state that allowed medical aid-in-dying in the first place then the team would be treating it as a homicide.
