TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Should all patients who attempt suicide be treated? JO - Monash bioethics review A1 - Savulescu, Julian SP - 33 EP - 40 VL - 14 IS - 4 N2 - Some patients who attempt suicide refuse treatment. These patients are invariably treated if brought to hospital. There are several reasons for this. These reasons justify the treatment of many of these patients, but not all. Some patients who attempt suicide ought to be allowed to die. My argument for this claim turns on judging some patients who attempt suicide to be sufficiently competent and rational be allowed to die.
