The difference is - legal assisted suicide (in the us as least) requires the person who dies to be suffering from mid to late stages of a terminal illness.
Just wanting to end it for the sake of ending it when there is life to be lived - isnt the same deal.
Also - assisted suicide is used for those that wish to die, but cannot bear to commit the act themselves. There are numerous reasons for this - including some religious ones. Pushing a jumper - is assualt with intent to kill at the least.
