Several authors have recently suggested that the suffering caused by mental illness could provide moral grounds for physician-assisted dying.

520 |a Several authors have recently suggested that the suffering caused by mental illness could provide moral grounds for physician-assisted dying. Yet they typically require that psychiatric-assisted dying could come to question in the cases of autonomous, or rational, psychiatric patients only.
