TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Rational suicide among the elderly JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Humphry, D. SP - 125 EP - 129 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - Old age, in and of itself, should never need to be a cause for self-destruction. But suicide and assisted suicide carried out in the face of terminal illness causing unbearable suffering should be ethically and legally acceptable. This paper outlines a perspective on rational suicide--the final exit--among the elderly. LA - SN - 0363-0234 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
