This volume, published as a special issue from "OMEGA - Journal of
Death and Dying" presents a number of theoretical and empirical
articles on the topic of euthanasia, doctor-assisted suicide and
suicide. We have examined the first extended data available in
America with regard to the 93 physician-assisted deaths of Drs.
Kevorkian and Reding. We examine the roles of biological verses
psychological factors in the patient's decision to actively hasten
their death. The role of gender, age, social economic status,
ethnic-national-religious ancestry and marital-status have been
examined in depth through quasi-psychological autopsies when
available, often with very troubling implications. In addition, we
present some preliminary work on seven cases of physician-assisted
suicides in Australia.
