Abstract:

There is evidence that the increasing rates of suicide can be linked to the legalization of physician-assisted suicide. Factors such as suicide contagion and the increasing positive media reporting on such suicides are also relevant and have led to different standards of treatment for suicidal people who claim the right to have their suicides medically assisted.

Abstract:

“[A] murder prosecution is a poor way to design an ethical and moral code for doctors,” observed the California Court of Appeal in 1983. Yet, physicians who have chosen to help terminally ill patients to commit suicide have trespassed on illegal ground. When skilled medical care fails to relieve the pain of terminally ill patients, some people believe that physicians may assist in these suicides. Others reject any kind of physician involvement. The debate on assisted suiczide and active euthanasia has focused on whether these acts can ever be acceptable. We propose to shift the debate to a les

Abstract:

AIMS OF THE STUDY: The legalisation of assisted suicide is one of the most debated topics in the field of medical ethics worldwide. In countries in which assisted suicide is not legal, public discussions about its approval also encompass considerations of the long-term consequences that such legalisation would bring, for example, how many people will use this option, from what conditions would they be suffering, would there be differences between male and female assisted suicide and which developments and trends could be expected if there were to be a marked increase of cases of assisted suici

Abstract:

CONTEXT AND GOAL: This research addresses the issue of suicide and attempted suicide, which have a significant impact on global premature mortality and disability. Particularly noteworthy is the prevalence among adolescents, in whom suicide ranks among the top four causes of death according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In Switzerland, suicide has remained the leading cause of death in individuals under 50 since 1990. At the same time, the burden of attempted suicides remains poorly understood. Although the legality of assisted suicide in Switzerland influences the overall suicide da

Abstract:

Key digested messageThe language and understanding of suicide have evolved over time, shaped by both experts and laypeople. Researchers debate definitions of suicide, focusing on intent, rationality, and forms of self-destructive behaviour, such as chronic or indirect suicides. Laypeople, on the other hand, emphasize reducing stigma in terminology, replacing phrases like ‘committed suicide’ with ‘died by suicide.’ Terms like ‘suicidality, ’ ‘non-suicidal self-injury,’ and classifications such as ‘suicide-by-cop’ reflect the complexities in studying self-harm behaviours.

Abstract:

As in other countries, in Switzerland, the rate of suicide is highest in the elderly. Assisted suicide is allowed and mostly exerted by private organizations like EXIT. The number of assisted suicide cases has doubled during the last five years and is expected to increase. It is mainly committed by women. In the age group 80 + y the number is higher than the number of suicides. To reduce the number of suicides by 25% by 2030, the federal authorities have issued a national action plan in November 2016. It includes preventive means like reduction of access to methods (weapons, drugs), constructi

Aims: Twitter content was analyzed during the week in which a fictional assisted suicide was broadcast on a British television soap opera, "Coronation Street." Method: Tweets were collected if they contained language indicating possible suicidal intent or used the word suicide. The modified Thompson tau method was used to test for any differences in the volume of tweets in both categories on the day of screening. Content analysis brok

Abstract:

The study investigated 17 suicidal girls attending Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) sessions as a complementary therapy. In particular, the study focused on three main issues. First, whether the patients’ happiness, warm emotions, awareness, relaxation, control, loquacity, and coordination improved over time. Second, whether riders and novices benefited equally from the therapy. Lastly, whether and how horse responsiveness and patient’s motivation affected the outcome. Individual Growth Curves analysis was used to answer these questions. The results showed a significant improvement in aware

Abstract:

<p>There is no stronger or more enduring prohibition in medicine than the rule against the killing of patients by doctors. This prohibition is rooted in some medical codes and principles. Out standing among the principles surrounding these prohibitions are the principles of beneficence and non-maleficience. The contents of these principles in a way mark the professional integrity of the physician. But the modern approach to health care services pulls a demand for the respect of the individual right of self-determination. This demand is now glaring in almost all the practices pertaining to heal

Abstract: This article explores the primacy of human dignity as a central concern for the future of education, particularly within the context of health ethics and end-of-life care. It critiques the prevalent ambiguities and manipulations of the term "human dignity" by examining the Royal Society of Canada Expert Panel's Report on End-of-Life Decision Making, which dismisses the concept of dignity as insufficient for normative ethical questions. The article argues that such dismissals are strategically used to promote the moral right to assisted suicide by overemphasizing individual autonomy.

Suicide is a serious global public health problem and is among the leading causes of death in the world. In Brazil, suicide rates have seen alarming increases and continue to rise. Some public policies have been implemented to prevent the rise in suicide cases. Despite this, studies in the field indicate that such measures are not enough to cause a reduction in cases. The collection and analysis of suicide data are important for creating and reevaluating monitoring and prevention processes for suicide attempts.
