Since one cannot assist suicide, by definition of suicide being taking of ones own life, anyone who "assist" is actually killing another individual. killing another individual, without intent, to kill is manslaughter; killing another individual, with intent, to kill is murder. If I am wrong in my definitions, I can stand to be corrected.
