Legal euthanasia and assisted suicide have no impact on the reduction of violent suicides and might in fact increase their prevalence, a new study has shown.
The 35-page analysis in The Journal of Ethics in Mental Health showed that there has been no reduction in violent, or non-assisted suicides, in any European country where physician-assisted deaths have been permitted.
On the contrary there have been noticeable increases in violent suicides in those places where patients have access to euthanasia or assisted suicide (EAS).
