N2  - Since we all have to die, the crucial decision is, of course, not whether to die, but how to die. This paper examines some of the psychological issues related to this decision, including criteria for an appropriate death, whether suicide can be an appropriate and a rational death, and how we should counsel the suicidal person. It then examines how these issues bear on potential requests for assisted-suicide from incarcerated offenders should assisted-suicide be legalized in some jurisdictions.     Reprinted from Lester, D. Assisted suicide for prison inmates. The Correctional Psychologist, 1999, 31(2), 1, 3-5; 31(4), 5-8.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
