abstract="Authors report about an extraordinary suicide with fasting, rejecting food and hard persistence considering the accomplishment of the goal. Although suicide is the final result of numerous social disorders and diseases, this case report must be dissociated from the domain of psychiatry. The motive for such a suicide was a great emotional loss, isolation and social abandonment, suggesting an unenviable quality of life in future. We can agree that in such a position one has a right and free will to make a decision about ending one's life. In that context we have accepted the failure of all taken measures in treatment and attempts to prevent suicide. Apart from our standpoint, we must ask several questions: could the person committing suicide be saved, was everything possible done to save him, was psychiatric ability or inability the reason which accelerated suicide?<p /><p>Language: hr</p>",
