Assisted Suicide

What are the legal ramification of a failed assisted suicide?

Considering that this is America (which means “Land of the Lawyers” in Potawatomi) this is a very important question. If the assisted suicide does not work and results in additional pain and suffering of the patient and it can be proven that this was a result of improper procedure, prescribing, and/or monitoring then it should fall into the venue of medical malpractice (ironically). As with question #6 if the patient is unable to give consent for any reason then the physician cannot be held liable for not going through with the assisted suicide in accordance with the law.
