• W1993035882 abstract "Review of empirical studies indicates that suicide is more common in persons suffering from some physical illnesses (e.g., epilepsy, head injuries, Huntington's Chorea, gastrointestinal diseases, AIDS, and cancer), but other chronic diseases and disabilities have not been linked to increased suicide risk (e.g., blindness, senile dementia, multiple sclerosis, and other physical handicaps). The timing of increased suicide risk varies in different illnesses from early presymptomatic stages to the terminal phase. Difficulties in reliably determining when someone is “terminally ill” and problems of the competence of persons with a poor prognosis complicate empirical investigations of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the desire to hasten death. The role of family and caregivers in end of life decisions needs further clarification. Researchers have found that pain and suffering and quality of life variables may be linked to the desire to die prematurely, particularly in cancer patients. Others find that clinical depression is a major factor. But, since depression is often present, we do not know why a small minority of depressed patients desire and choose to hasten death. Support for alternative hypotheses is examined, including the role of pre-morbid suicidality and depression, individual differences in coping strategies and indirect consequences of the illness. There is a need to clarify links between attitudes, which is the major variable studied, and actual behaviors and decisions. Furthermore, we need theoretical and empirical links between studies of suicide, which is linked to clinical depression and characterized by ambivalence and studies of euthanasia, which is often depicted as rational and with little ambivalence. Evaluative research should be conducted to determine if interventions to reduce the desire for a premature death by suicide, euthanasia, or assisted suicide are effective. In the light of this review, we present several considerations for those involved in proposing changes in public policy concerning euthanasia and assisted suicide." @default.
