TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Psychiatric euthanasia, suicide and the role of gender JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Nicolini, Marie E. A1 - Gastmans, Chris A1 - Kim, Scott Y. H. SP - 10 EP - 13 VL - 220 IS - 1 N2 - The preponderance of women among persons who request and receive euthanasia and assisted suicide based on a psychiatric condition, as shown by data from The Netherlands and Belgium, is virtually unexplored. We provide a critical discussion of this gender gap, and propose that it can inform a key debate point in the controversy over the practice, namely its conflict with suicide prevention.
