Is there anywhere in the world a person Can consent to be killed by another person? With waivers etc.?
There are places (e.g. the Netherlands) where doctor-assisted suicide is legal. This would be regarded as murder in other places.
It was legal in Uruguay for a good part of the 20th century (Uruguay is by far the most secular country in Latin America). I don’t know if the laws have changed though.
Uruguay actually used to have legalized dueling, among other odd laws.
IIRC terminally ill patients in Oregon can.
Less formally, there’s always “Suicide by Cop”.
By joining any military, anywhere, some would say.
Suicide by cop (AKA “blue suicide”) doesn’t work that way. You can’t get a cop to kill you just by requesting it (although that would be a good way to get a free ride to a mental hospital). To achieve suicide by cop, you have to act in a threatening enough manner that a cop shoots you. I don’t think this is what the OP was looking for.
But just to be clear, you cannot consent to murder (per the title). Murder is, by definition, unlawful killing.
By English common law and its modern-day descendants, it is impossible to form a valid contrat to commit a crime.
So, no agreement to murder is legally possible.
Agreeing to homicide may be.
There have been suicide pacts where a survivor has avoided prosecution … clearly they had helped the deceased to die , or any other injured to get injured…
Perhaps they should be prosecuted though… Attempts to pretend to engage in a suicide pact and not ending up seriously injured may result in murder charges…
Duelling is basically giving consent to your opponent to attempt to kill you (in exchange for her doing likewise), so that would fit the bill if you could find anywhere where it’s still legal. Wikipedia says that “There is a frequently quoted, (albeit dubious), claim that duelling is legal in Paraguay if both parties are blood donors.” Sounds urban-legendy to me, but still barely within the realm of possibility.
Further to the above, there is also the issue of trial by combat, which is a sort of judicially sanctioned duel to settle civil or criminal disputes. According to Wikipedia,
The emphasis above is mine—I have no doubt that no modern-day American court would accept a petitioner’s request to have their civil or criminal case settled by combat.
Out of curiosity, is there any record of two women fighting a duel?
They mean Uruguay, and the law was abolished in 1992. It was also semi-legal in Uruguay (and as far as I know still is) to kill someone whether or not they were terminally ill, if they repeatedly ask you to do so. It was up to the court’s discretion to punish you or not.
Also, I think a lot of duels back in the day were to first blood, not death.
1792 - The Petticoat Duel
Something like this?
All seriousness, I’ve heard of dueling “to satisfaction”. Although I assumed death was was more common.
