Suicide Website Webmaster Arrested for Assisting in Suicide

Kazunari Saito, a 33 year-old electrician, was arrested for giving 21 year-old Sayaka Nishizawa sleeping pills and then suffocating here.

Sayaka had contacted Kazunari through a Internet suicide website that he owned and offered him $1,700 to kill her.

The suspect told police he had been asked to “see through” the dying process.

“I want to die, how can I die?” Sayaka asked him.
Kazunari wrote back: “I will give you lots of sleeping pills. I will help.”

There was no clear reason as to why Sayaka wanted to kill herself or why she would ask for help.

Rather a serious matter; assisting/taking someone’s life. Not so much weird news, more in the way of tragic news.

he’s not in sheep clothing because he never denied his intentions. he’s helping someone out; more than you can say.

Of course you can’t see a problem,because people like yourself,are the problem! You think you are God? No one has the right to take a life,even if asked,(duh)!!

he is practicing what he preaches… helping people commit suicide when they want to die. not very bright, are you?

I may not be as bright as you,because i never knew it was legal to assist a person in wanting to die. Perhaps one day, if one of your pals asks you to help him/her to die, we can come visit you in jail.

Well I guess you got me there, I bow to your obviously superior intellect. Obviously us simple country boys need to be put in our place from time to time, why some of us aint even house broke yet.

Hilarious how people are trying to justify the murder of a person. Really, I find it funny how people can say the dumbest shit online.

@stu I fear you may have missed the point of Casual Adventurer’s comment, however, to assist you on your way I’ll spell it out. If the man practises as he preaches, i.e. it is ok for one to commit suicide, then he too should be dead by now.

unnerstan? uh?

eufanasia is a difficult subject. I mean , yes no body is God,who are we to say who lives or dies. But then If someone is suffereing physically or emotionaly i can understand why they would want to die. Can you imagine lets say if you became paralyzed from head to toe trapped in your own bed day after day, no love, no sex, no fun. I would want to die too.
I really can’t say who’s side i’m on. It’s sad that there is a website like that accepting money for it, but then he’s just trying to help people in a sense. Maybe if he didn’t do it for money, it wouldn’t seem so offensive and sick.

I’m actually with you on this one. It’s hard to decide when euthanasia is okay, but I think it’s the exchange of money that makes it so unsettling… like hiring a hit man for yourself.
