    Abstract

    Attempting suicide is not a crime in Scots law, but it may nevertheless be criminal to assist someone else to commit suicide. This article distinguishes various levels of assistance in suicide, and attempts to determine what, if any, charges are likely to be brought in Scots law against a person who aids someone in committing, or attempting to commit, suicide.
