An attempt to clarify the concept of rational suicide: A commentary on Lokhandwala and Westefeld

Journal/Book: J Pers Interpers Loss. 1998; 3: 1900 Frost Road, Suite 101, Bristol, PA 19007-1598. Taylor & Francis. 167-176.

Abstract: In this commentary on Lokhandwala and Westefeld's provocative article, I provide alternative perspectives to several of their points. Specifically, I review what I believe to be some of the meta-issues involved, examine a few of the particular points raised by the authors, and then discuss concerns with the research often cited to question the possibility of rational suicide.
