  1. Rational suicide and schizophrenia.Naista Zhand & David Attwood - 2024 - Clinical Ethics 19 (1):113-118.
    The concept of rational suicide argues that suicide could be a rational choice, in certain circumstances. Such an argument faces criticism when there is an accompanying mental illness, as many view suicide as a symptom of mental illness rather than as a rational choice about one's life. More specifically, the rational suicide debate has mostly excluded individuals with schizophrenia, as it is widely seen as a disorder that impairs rational decision making. This paper aims to examine the concept of rational (...)

  • Protecting Life or Managing Risk? Suicide Prevention and the Lure of Medicalized Control.Warren Kinghorn - forthcoming - Christian Bioethics.
    Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States and in many other parts of the world. As such, suicide is frequently framed as a medical and public health problem for which solutions are best recommended by medical and public health authorities.

Further, by (...)
