her friend for a very big sum of money? Young people were sittining and discussing whether they would agree or not in such a situation. But as for me, I was shoked, because I think that such a proposal equals with a crime, the same as taking/giving bribes is considered to be a crime. But in that case it is much more serious, because it puts under threat the life and private rights of another person. I suppose that people should be punished not only for taking bribes, but also for making this kind of proposals. What do you think?

The show you describe sounds like a serious discussion of the ethical values of the persons participating, not a proposal to actually harm someone for money.
In the real world in the USA, away from television, if someone made a serious offer to pay someone else to hurt anyone, the offer would be considered part of a criminal conspiracy and the person making the offer could go to prison.
We have freedom of speech here, but we are not idiots.
