abstract="The phenomenon of suicide is unique to Homo sapiens. Explanations are many but not satisfying. The clearly documented rise in suicide rate among younger age groups, at least in the United States, is cause for worry. Those who succeed in self-destruction all too frequently are highly intelligent individuals; the waste of human talent is obvious. A review of suicides investigated and of literature suggests that total loss of hope on the part of the victim results in an astigmatic perception of reality; in the face of these circumstances, suicide is a logical conclusion for the victim.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
