So, I think you are saying:

1) Suicide is morally wrong.
2) Anyone who says "suicide is okay" to someone contemplating it is also morally wrong.

I disagree with both. A person has a right (and, let's be frank, the privilege) to take their own life if they so choose. If someone else with whom they are associated with agrees with this decision, that is also their right. I fail to see where crime and culpability enter into it.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forums Smile

1) I think suicide is wrong morally, it's a selfish act that hurts people around you, which is not a moral thing to do, neither is it moral to take your life while not terminally ill or something similar.
2) But you just said below you don't consider suicide wrong so this is kind of self-refuting here to say that you don't think it's moral to tell them suicide is okay...

They have the right, doesn't mean it was right to do or told it's a privilege. The people around them friends/family who knew before hand that did nothing I feel hold some responsibility, but ultimately it's on the person who did it. I'm not saying condoning this is an actual legal crime, but to me it's immoral to do nothing, if that makes sense. An extreme example is if you tell someone to kill themselves online, you can be charged with a crime if they do it.

Also thanks for the welcome, good to meet ya.

No.

Complicity with a little c.

Not that they actually hold equal share or that condoning it is an actual crime. Just to clarify.
