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 less divisive issue: whether a caring physician who provides a suffering and ill patient with a prescription for a lethal dose of medication should be prosecuted as a felon. Even assisted suicide's opponents may object to such criminal prosecution. We propose to modify existing criminal laws to give physicians who assist their terminally ill patients in suicide, under carefully defined circumstances, a legal defense against criminal charges.

Abstract:
BackgroundIn Switzerland assisted suicide is legal if no self-interest is involved.AimsTo compare the strength and direction of associations with sociodemographic factors between assisted and unassisted suicides.MethodWe calculated rates and used Cox and logistic regression models in a longitudinal study of the Swiss population.ResultsAnalyses were based on 5 004 403 people, 1301 assisted and 5708 unassisted suicides from 2003 to 2008. The rate of unassisted suicides was higher in men than in women, rates of assisted suicides were similar in men and women. Higher education was positively associated with assisted suicide, but negatively with unassisted. Living alone, having no children and no religious affiliation were associated with higher rates of both.ConclusionsSome situations that indicate greater vulnerability such as living alone were associated with both assisted and unassisted suicide. Among the terminally ill, women were more likely to choose assisted suicide, whereas men died more often by unassisted suicide.

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 suicide over time? METHODS: In order to answer these questions, we present the development of assisted suicide in Switzerland over a 20-year period (1999–2018; 8738 cases) using data from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office. RESULTS: During the observation period, the number of assisted suicides rose significantly: when four 5-year periods (1999–2003, 2004–2008, 2009–2013, 2014–2018) were analysed, the number of assisted suicide cases doubled over each period compared with the preceding one (Χ = 206.7, 270.4 and 897.4; p <0.001). The percentage of assisted suicides among all deaths rose from 0.2% (1999–2003; n = 582) to 1.5% (2014–2018: n = 4820). The majority of people who chose assisted suicide were elderly, with increasing age over time (median age in 1999–2003: 74.5 years vs 2014–2018: 80 years), and with a predominance of women (57.2% vs 42.8%). The most common underlying condition for assisted suicide was cancer (n = 3580, 41.0% of all assisted suicides). Over time, assisted suicide increased similarly for all underlying conditions; however, the proportion in each disease group remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: It is a matter of one’s viewpoint whether the rise of assisted suicide cases should be considered alarming or not. These figures reflect an interesting social development but still do not appear to represent a mass phenomenon.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTBackground:Concerns about suicide risk in people with dementia have been increasing in recent years along with a discourse about rational suicide and assisted suicide.Methods:A systematic narrative literature review of suicidal behavior and assisted suicide in persons with dementia.Results:Most studies that have examined the spectrum of suicidal ideation, attempted suicide and suicide in dementia have methodological limitations but the overall suicide risk does not appear to be increased. When suicidal behavior does occur, common themes include the presence of psychiatric comorbidity, mainly depression; occurrence early in the dementia course with preserved insight and capacity; and an increased risk in younger people. The emerging discourse on rational and assisted suicide has been spurred by early and pre-symptomatic diagnosis and poses a number of ethical challenges for clinicians including the role of proxy decision-makers.Conclusions:Although dementia might not confer a significant overall risk for suicidal behavior, clinicians still need to consider the potential for suicide in vulnerable individuals particularly early in the dementia course.

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), construction of bridges and buildings, education of lays and professionals and specific treatment of those who have attempted suicide. There has been a position paper of Swiss public health concerning suicide prevention in the elderly. Both papers will be presented and discussed.Concerning assisted suicide there is a broad discussion on the control of the state and on the role of physicians in the process. A survey of Swiss physicians showed much ambivalence. Position papers of gerontological and geriatric societies focused on the role loneliness and the provision of adequate psychiatric help, e.g. for depression, and the overestimation of autonomy.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

Abstract. Background: Concern has been expressed about the potentially contagious effect of television soap opera suicides and suicidal language in social media. 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 broke down the use of the word suicide into six thematic categories. Results: There was no evidence on the day of screening of an increase in tweets expressing possible suicidal intent but there was an increase in tweets containing the word suicide. Content analysis found the most common thematic category to be information or support, followed by the raising of moral issues in relation to suicide. Conclusion: It is possible that for certain high-profile media events Twitter may be used more as a civic reactive forum than as a medium for introspection or disclosure of distress.

Abstract:
The paper deals with the issue of suicide and assisted suicide, especially its ethical, criminal law and canon law evaluation. In the first chapter, the author explains what needs to be perceived under these terms and how they differ from euthanasia, offers current statistics on suicides in the Slovak Republic and discusses basic types of suicides, evaluates the issue of the right to life from an ethical point of view and criticizes the concept of the “right to death”. He concludes that the possible legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia would have widespread negative consequences. The second chapter of the paper is based on the constitutional guarantees of the right to life, which is also supported by the international obligations of the Slovak Republic in this area. Subsequently, it offers a criminal analysis of suicide and assisted suicide in the Slovak legal system. In the last, third chapter, the author finally discusses the issue from the perspective of the doctrine, law and practice of the Catholic Church.

Abstract:
Abstract There is a growing trend among some physicians, psychiatrists, bioethicists, and other mental health professionals not to treat physician-assisted suicide (PAS) as suicide. The grounds for doing so are that PAS fundamentally differs from other suicides. Perhaps most notably, in 2017 the American Association of Suicidology argued that PAS is distinct from the behavior that their organization seeks to prevent. This paper compares and contrasts suicide and PAS in order to see how much overlap there is. Contrary to the emerging view that emphasizes their differences, I argue that there is significant overlap such that we ought not to separate PAS into its own category, making it diverge from how we think about and address suicide more generally. I start by examining several prominent theories of suicide and argue that PAS fits squarely within them. I then examine several apparent differences between PAS and other kinds of suicide and argue that these differences are merely apparent or they do not justify treating PAS as a fundamentally different kind of thing from suicide.

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 awareness and coordination, and a small change in warm emotion and relaxation over time. Moreover, previous riding experience was related to higher scores in warm emotions, awareness, control, and coordination. However, this effect faded over time as the clients became more familiar with EAP. Finally, the patient’s attitude, reflected in the horse’s responses, influenced positively the overall outcome. In conclusion, beginners might need more time in order to feel comfortable with the EAP environment. Thus, it is crucial to set appropriate goals. Additionally, patient’s motivation is an important factor for the success of the therapy, as it will be reflected in the horse’s responsiveness, and will eventually lead to greater improvements. Overall, the results suggested that patients’ experiences with horse riding, horse responsiveness, and motivation are important elements of EAP that are related to improvements in suicidal girls over time.

Abstract:
La mort choisie pour raison psychique ou existentielle : de l'autodétermination à la rencontre éthiqueLes débats passionnés sur l'euthanasie et le suicide assisté sont d'actualité en Europe.L'expérience des pays voisins, notamment la Belgique et les Pays-Bas, montre qu'une loi sur l'euthanasie ou l'aide médicale au suicide permet, que l'on s'en défende ou que cela n'ait pas été initialement souhaité, l'ouverture de l'aide active à mourir aux personnes souffrant de troubles psychiques ou pour raisons existentielles.Un tel élargissement soulève des questions sociétales, cliniques et éthiques.Cette loi ne peut s'implanter que dans une société où se transforment les attitudes face à la mort et la façon dont on conçoit sa propre mort. Avec la transgression des tabous sociétaux et déontologiques, dans ce qui sera une rupture anthropologique sociétale sans précédent, à qui appartiendra la mort, à la société, au citoyen ou au médecin ?D'un point de vue clinique, se pose la question de comment concilier de telles demandes d'aide à mourir avec la prévention du suicide, d'autant plus qu'existe indubitablement une grande proximité clinique entre les patients suicidaires et les personnes en demande d'aide active à mourir pour raison psychique. Comment évaluer une souffrance psychologique profondément subjective ? Comment résoudre la question de l'évaluation du discernement souvent altéré par les troubles psychiques ? Quelle place accorder à la psychiatrie face aux troubles mentaux graves et persistants ? Et surtout, de telles questions délicates impactent fortement la prise en charge de personnes particulièrement vulnérables à un moment crucial où la psychiatrie aborde une crise structurelle majeure. Une loi sur l'aide active à mourir effectivement promulguée ouvrira la porte à un profond changement de paradigme dans la relation médecin-patient, pour laquelle une lecture éthique s'avèrera indispensable
Death chosen for psychic or existential reasons: from self-determination to ethical encounterPassionate debates on euthanasia and assisted suicide are a topical issue in Europe.The experience of neighboring countries, especially Belgium and the Netherlands, shows that a law on euthanasia or medically-assisted suicide makes possible active assistance in dying to people suffering from psychological disorders or for existential reasons, whether or not this was initially desired.Such an extension raises societal, clinical and ethical questions.This law can only take root in a society where attitudes to death and the way in which we conceive of our own death are changing. With the transgression of societal and ethical taboos, in what will be an unprecedented societal anthropological rupture, who will own death - society, the citizen or the doctor?From a clinical point of view, the question is how to reconcile such requests for assistance in dying with suicide prevention, especially as there is undoubtedly a great clinical proximity between suicidal patients and people requesting active assistance in dying for psychological reasons. How can we assess deeply subjective psychological suffering? How can we solve the problem of assessing discernment, which is often impaired by mental disorders? What role should psychiatry play in the face of severe and persistent mental disorders?Above all, such delicate issues have a major impact on the care of particularly vulnerable people, at a crucial time when psychiatry is facing a major structural crisis. A law on active assistance in dying will open the door to a profound paradigm shift in the doctor/patient relationship, for which an ethical reading will become essential

Abstract:

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 health care services. In end of life decisions, this modern demand is found much in practices like physician- assisted suicide and euthanasia. It demands that the physician ought to respect the wish and choice of the patient, and so, must assist the patient in bringing about his or her death when requested. In such manner, this views the principle of autonomy as absolute and should not be overridden in any circumstance.

However, the physician on his part is part of the medical profession that has integrity to protect. This integrity in medical profession which demands that the physician works only towards the health care of the patient and to what reduces diseases and deaths often go contrary to this respect for individual autonomy. Thus faced with such requests by patients, the physician always sees his integrity in conflict with his demand to respect the autonomous choice of the patient and so has a dilemma in responding to such requests. This is the focus of this work,"Professional Integrity and the Dilemma in Physician- Assisted Suicide"

However, the centre of my argument in this work is not merely though necessary to develop general arguments for or against the general justification of PAS, but to critically view the role played by the physicians in assisting the death of their patients as it comes in conflict with the medical obligation and integrity. Is it morally right, out rightly wrong or in certain situation permissible that physicians respond positively to the request of the patients for PAS? This is the overarching moral problem in the morality of physician- assisted suicide, and this work will consider this in line with the main problem in the work “the dilemma of professional physicians in the assistance of suicide.

Abstract:
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. It draws parallels to ideological manipulations of language as described by George Orwell and underscores the importance of maintaining clear and precise definitions to avoid fallacies. The discussion highlights three universal meanings of human dignity—ontological dignity, dignity-decency, and dignity-liberty—and their implications for ethical decision-making in end-of-life care. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity of preserving the authentic understanding of human dignity in educational discourse to ensure ethical integrity in future societal practices.

Abstract:
Humanism or altruism, patriotism or any other action that would be motivated, if not by love, at least by care and attention, i.e. empathy or consideration for the interests of others, they are really so rare that they are simply difficult to notice, especially in these harsh times. It's as if we forgot about them. And that is the same, as if they are not there. From the point of view of the individual and the protection of his life, there is no difference. Precisely, although quite superfluous, if there are so many homeless, exiles, refugees, in a word, unfortunate, abandoned, forgotten, "invisible" people who no one cares about, isn't it hypocritical to talk about the community's care for the individual. Nevertheless, respecting the individual and some other segments of human existence, certain forms of reality in certain countries show different, new tendencies, which from the author's point of view can be subsumed under "real solutions" of importance for understanding the relevant problem. So, in that whole story, in its ambiguity and complexity, in the multitude of questions that "open up" in connection with it, the central one is recognized - does a person have the right to a dignified death'? Yes, the position of the Spanish legislator is to allow euthanasia, and it is explicitly formulated in Law LO 2/2021. For example, on October 18, 2021, Spain decided to legalize voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide for people suffering from serious and incurable diseases who want to end their suffering and life. By passing such a law, Spain has become the fourth country in Europe to allow both forms of ending the life of a dying patient. The paper will, therefore, analyze in more detail the specifics of the legal regulation of euthanasia in Spanish law, and briefly provide a comparative analysis of its criminal law regulation in some other European countries that have decided to regulate this sensitive issue in a different or the same way - through its legalization.

Abstract:
Pessoas vivenciam cada vez mais sentimentos de angústia, ansiedade e tristeza. Esses apontam, entre outras patologias, à depressão e, pior, pensamentos de ideação suicida. Posto isso, técnicas computacionais capazes de apontar tal transtorno precocemente se tornam indispensáveis. O presente trabalho apresenta um modelo baseado em Stacking Deep Neural Networks para análise de expressões faciais e subsequente detecção automática da depressão. Os resultados obtidos indicam um avanço promissor quanto à detecção automática da depressão. O modelo Stacking DNNs atinge, na base de teste, 78,5% de Recall e 62,8% de F1-Score. Tais valores são 22% e 17% superiores, respectivamente, a modelos unimodais que aplicam métodos semelhantes.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Verificar la relación entre el riesgo de suicidio y el abuso de alcohol y tabaco durante el embarazo. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal con mujeres embarazadas entre los dos primeros trimestres gestacionales. La muestra fue elegida por sorteo de 50% (n=244) de los sectores censales en el área urbana de una ciudad en el sur de Brasil. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5.0.0 (M.I.N.I. Plus), la Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), la Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) y la Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA). Esas que estaban en riesgo de suicidio y/o abuso/dependencia del alcohol fueron derivadas al servicio de salud apropiado y aquellas que demostraron abuso/dependencia del tabaco recibieron orientación sobre el daño del uso de esta sustancia durante el embarazo. El proyecto de investigación fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética de Investigación de la Universidad y todas las participantes firmaron un formulario de consentimiento. El estudio está financiado por la Fundación Bill y Melinda Gates. Los análisis univariados se realizaron con frecuencia simple y relativa, media y desviación estándar. Para los análisis bivariados y multivariados, se utilizaron las pruebas de chi-cuadrado, ANOVA y regresión logística, respectivamente. Resultados y conclusiones: Participaron en el estudio 981 mujeres embarazadas. La prevalencia del abuso de alcohol fue de 8.6% (n=84) y el abuso de tabaco fue de 16.2% (n=158). Después de la regresión logística, las mujeres embarazadas con menos educación (OR 7.85; IC95% 2.94-20.92), de clase económica baja (OR 2.80; IC95% 1.44-5.42), con inseguridad alimentaria (OR 1.72; IC95% 1.16-2.55) y con riesgo de suicidio (OR 1.95; IC95% 1.21-3.16) tenían más probabilidades de ser dependientes del tabaco. Este resultado resalta la necesidad de una buena atención prenatal, incluida la atención especial al uso de sustancias y la salud mental de la mujer embarazada.
