If asked would you witness?

If someone asked you to witness their suicide (by hanging) because they didn't want to die alone. Would you say yes!

No, because I've already seen that online. I don't think it's a good method because it takes a long time for the body to stop fighting and functioning, the neck muscles elongate, the neck can snap, and the experience is restless before the person is finally at peace. I'd prefer not to watch someone suffer through that in real time. (Not to mention the possibility that they still end up living after going through all of that or being found by other people.)

Agreed. I would never ask anyone to watch me die. I may not like the idea of going out solo. But it's my choice and the experience is uniquely mine.

So..... This could actually end up bad for the witness unless yall be careful. I assume it has to be online (otherwise court could easily find the witness guilty of aiding ctb), but i fear even watching it could fall under Counselling or Aiding Suicide or (more likely) involuntary manslaughter which is illegal in a lot of countries (technically just witnessing is not illegal, but court might argue that person was for example "encouraging"). Again that would depend on a country tho, I know thats the thing in US (People were actually convicted with that. Example you can google is Michelle Carter case)
