嘱託殺人 refers to killing upon the victim's request or commission, often implying a prior agreement or contract. 同意殺人 focuses on the presence of consent itself, without necessarily involving a request.
承しょう諾だく殺さつ人じん
承諾殺人 is a near-synonym for killing with the victim's consent. In some legal contexts, 同意殺人 and 承諾殺人 are used interchangeably, but 承諾殺人 may emphasize the act of giving permission.
