Article Title: | Psychosocial aspects of rational suicide |
Abstract: | In recent years a more permissive attitude has emerged concerning the choice of suicide as an alternative to some life situations. This trend is examined with particular focus on increased public acceptance of the notion of 'rational suicide'. The position of rational-suicide proponents is critically examined in light of existing clinical and research data. |
