Kevin Drum defends an important right I would like to have available. Just in case.

My right to die: assisted suicide, my family, and me

And if we make it a felony murder to coerce suicide or even pressure people into it, that will obviate this objection.

Don’t Kill Yourself, Kevin Drum

If we leave it to juries to decide what is or isn't pressure or even coercion of the subtler, psychological types, that will have a chilling effect on people urging suicide?

Ah, on the whole, that would be to the good, I think.
