Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of, too, the legal ramifications of it. I just emailed someone from a right to die site called the right to no longer exist for advice on whether I should do this, but it's early in the morning here, and he hasn't written back. We are friends, him and I, and he's said he's done this for someone who took SN before, but I don't know what platform he used and how he protected himself from the legalities of it.
According to him, when he video chatted with the person taking the SN, as long as we don't actually encourage someone to CTB in the US, we should be ok, but if Hope is from a different country, they may have different legality rules.
Possibly, we could comfort Hope together. Like, we could do a video call on Zoom or something, the three of us, unless someone else wants to join, and we can have a mini celebration of death party for Hope.
IDK, just a thought. If you are still interested, Hope, please PM me. I don't want you to have to go alone, either, if that isn't what you want. No one should have to die alone and frightened. When you PM me, if you indeed do, maybe think about what you would like me/us to do or say for you during your CTB. This would be my first time live chatting with someone who is CTB, so I'm a bit nervous, but I don't want to make this about me, I want to make it about you because it's your big day/night. This is why it would be helpful for you to think about what you might want from the person or people who are voice chatting with you.
BTW, SN is my method, too, and I also have some of the same fears about it as you do, so you aren't not alone in this, either.
Sending you virtual hugs if you want them.
Warmly,
Cupcake
