1. Assessment of Requests for Assisted Suicide by a Swiss Right-to-Die Society

Author

Bosshard, Georg, Ulrich, Esther, Ziegler, Stephen J., and Bar, Walter

Abstract

Non-physician volunteers of Exit, the largest right-to-die organization in Switzerland, play an important role in assisted suicide. They conduct assessments and deliver lethal medications for a member to self-administer. This study analyses the content of 114 intake sheets (checklists) of Exit members whose requests for assisted suicide were granted in an effort to examine the frequency of depression and whether their relatives agreed with the member's decision to commit suicide (2 questions that can help increase the likelihood that the member's decision was both informed and voluntary). Exit's paperwork indicated that depression was found to exist in 27% of the cases, was more common among those under 65, and relatives explicitly disagreed with the member's decision in 5% of the cases. (Contains 1 table.)

Abstract

A 17-year-old boy died from liver failure after eating spaghetti contaminated with the bacterium Bacillus cereus. He and his father had re-heated the spaghetti and developed symptoms of food poisoning 30 minutes after eating it. The father eventually recovered, but the boy was hospitalized with liver failure and died. Samples of his liver and the spaghetti sauce were found to contain the bacterium, which produces a toxin that can affect cell mitochondria. Inhibition of fatty acid metabolism in mitochondria could explain the pathologic changes in his liver.
