  • ING DEATH: Medical Aid-In-Dying and the Morality of Suicide
    CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AUTHOR(IZ)ING DEATH: Medical Aid-in-Dying and the Morality of Suicide ANITA HANNIG Brandeis University https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4733-0392 On October 27, 2015, the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Public Health held a hearing at the State House in Boston to discuss a new bill that would enable terminally ill patients to end their life by ingesting a lethal medication prescribed by their physician. At the hearing, opponents of the proposed bill invited testi- monies by those who had lost someone to suicide or who had been active in sui- cide-prevention organizations. That is why Pauline Mars, an elderly resident from North Grafton, got up to speak. Some forty-two years ago, her husband had shot himself in the head in their bedroom, leaving behind Mars and their four children. “On that Sunday afternoon, our lives were shattered and changed forever. I was the widow of suicide. My children were the children of suicide,” she testified. “Suicide does not eliminate suffering; it causes unbearable, unending pain.” Two hours later, Mary Hoge, an elder law attorney from Medfield, warned legislators: “If you pass this law, you will redefine a tragedy and call it a medical procedure. You will call death just another choice. We all know suicide has been considered a sad conse- quence of depression, loneliness, fear, and desperation. Suicide of any kind is a result of a mind in turmoil, an act of a person who feels unloved and abandoned. Can we legislate love and accompaniment instead?” CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Vol. 34, Issue 1, pp.

Lyon: Protecting Patients’ Autonomy Protecting Patients’ Autonomy: Supporting the “Right to Die” By Nicholas Lyon As medical techniques have increased in complexity, death can be delayed more and more, and the debate over euthanasia has become increasingly important. Patients with chronic ailments such as AIDS or cancer can now receive treatments that allow them to survive for far longer than what was possible even only a few decades ago. Through the use of modern genetic analysis tools, companies like 23andMe have allowed people of all ages to know what diseases and infirmities they are prone to long before the onset of symptoms. Despite these advancements however, society’s definition of “survive” remains purely having the body’s mechanical processes continue, and fails to incorporate the patient’s suffering and quality of life into the discussion. Due to the intrinsically subjective nature of such complaints from a patient, the critical factor to be considered in the ethics of requests to die will be how the patient views their suffering and quality of life, not the observations of third parties.

  • Why Are Suicides So Widespread in Catholic Lithuania?
    religions Review Why Are Suicides So Widespread in Catholic Lithuania? Danute˙ Gailiene˙ Department of Clinical Psychology, University of Vilnius, Universiteto 9/1, Vilnius 01513, Lithuania; [email protected] Received: 20 December 2017; Accepted: 27 February 2018; Published: 5 March 2018 Abstract: Religion as a protective factor against suicide was introduced in Durkheim’s theory of suicide and analysed from various perspectives in multiple studies. The Lithuanian case is intriguing because before WWII, along with Catholic Poland, it showed much lower suicide rates than its Protestant neighbours Latvia and Estonia. However, today Lithuania is among the leading countries in terms of the prevalence of suicide. Interestingly, not much has changed in Lithuania in terms of religious denomination—about 80% of population call themselves Catholic. The aim of this article was to explore which factors might have affected religions’ protective function against suicide during radical historical processes. The method of study consists of an analysis of historical sources, and of recent studies in suicidology and sociology of religion about suicide and religion in Lithuania. The results of this analysis show that two factors seem to be most important—heroicizing resistance suicides and experiencing long-term politics of atheisation. Keywords: religion; suicide rates; Lithuania 1. Introduction Religion as a protective factor against suicide was first introduced in Durkheim’s (Durkheim 1979) theory of suicide. He observed that the Protestant countries in Western Europe have higher suicide rates than the Catholic ones and related it to the stronger social cohesion and social integration among Catholics. Since then the association between religion and suicide has been analysed from various perspectives in multiple studies.
