“…The World Health Organization identified depression as the leading cause of disability worldwide, citing a 20% increase over the last decade ( 21 ). Approximately 15–27% of older adults experience depressive symptoms ( 22 ), and the burden is higher for more marginalized older adults who receive social services ( 23 ). Late-life depression has been associated with reduced quality of life and function, poor self-rated health, excess service utilization, and increased disability, morbidity, and mortality, including suicide ( 24 27 ).…”

Опыт легализации в Нидерландах эвтаназии и ассистированно-го врачом суицида демонстрирует, что уровень как уходов из жизни при содействии врача, так и собственно самоубийств остается стабильным и довольно низким по сравнению с другими европейскими странами.…”
