Alright, this is seriously whacked. But, is it murder???

One could argue that it is "assisted suicide", couldn't they? Assuming that there was no coercion, of course. But the "victim" allegedly sold all of their possessions prior to the meeting, sort of suggesting that there was at least no overt coercion.

As long as no others are harmed or put at risk without their ascent, should I not be allowed to voluntarily enter into any agreement with another human?

If I don't have a right to "self-possession" anterior to any other right of possession, what worth is any right? If my own body and life is not my property, than what possibly can be?

It seems to me that if this strange situation is a voluntary contract between to competent adults, the state is asserting its authority over a person's own body and life. I realize that states do this constantly, but I find that immoral.

If I can't choose whether to live or die, ultimately any choice is at the discression of the state, is it not?
