Module 4 Discussion
The Bridge Between Suicide and Life
Should people who want to die be prevented from killing themselves? Most health care professionals, and a variety of people in other occupations as well, are obligated to try to prevent people from killing themselves. Laws require them to treat suicidal people in essentially the same manner they would treat homicidal people, even to the extent of breaking doctor-patient confidentiality to do so. At the other extreme are people like Jack Kevorkian, MD, a physician who believed doctors ought to help their patients commit suicide when asked. What would you do if someone you know is thinking about suicide?
By successfully completing this reflection activity, learners demonstrate Module Outcomes 1 & 2.
