In California, an 88-year-old man was arrested for assisting in a suicide after his 84-
  year-old wife took thirty sleeping pills and then suffocated herself with a plastic bag
  over her head.

He told police that he did not help her commit suicide, but neither did
he try to stop her. In fact, he said, he sat by her side as she died. She had been
suffering from depression and numerous injuries and illnesses in her final years.
Both the husband and wife were said by family and friends to be mentally alert and
competent and capable of making such decisions. Should the husband's failure to
stop his wife from commiting suicide count as assisting a suicide? Did he violate
any moral obligations to her in failing to stop her from committing suicide?
