abstract="Suicide is common in old age, but public opinion remains negative. Following a review of theories of suicide and a summary of arguments against suicide, this essay constructs an argument for why the elderly have a unique claim to an ethical, unobstructed suicide. That claim rests on their &quot;developmental autonomy,&quot; based on the experience and wisdom of the elderly.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
