In the Washington Post (12/15, Lane) “PostPartisan” blog, Washington Post editorial writer Charles Lane writes, “This past weekend, the American Psychiatric Association gave final approval to a policy statement declaring its ethical opposition to psychiatric participation in assisted suicide or euthanasia for a non-terminal patient.” The statement reads, “The American Psychiatric Association, in concert with the American Medical Association’s position on Medical Euthanasia, holds that a psychiatrist should not prescribe or administer any intervention to a non-terminally ill person for the purpose of causing death.”
