Reply To: Halachic Penalty for Attempted Murder

Wolf – Why do you always repeat the post? Why not just address the poster by name, like I do?

So that other readers don’t have to go searching for the last thing you said. They can see what I’m responding to here in the post.

Bais Din killing the guy is severe pain. You can just imagine the pain of the person’s belly exploding!

Not everyone who commits suicide looks for the easiest way out. Plenty of people hang themselves — which is neither quick nor painless when they could probably find other, less painful and quick ways to go.

If someone wants to die, they aren’t necessarily looking for the quickest, most painless way to go. They might be, but in no way can you say that they always or even generally do.
