High impact information on Right to Die

JAMA 100 years ago: the right to die [1].
Irish Supreme Court approves "right-to-die" case [2].
The Pain Relief Promotion Act: will it spell death to "death with dignity" or is it unconstitutional [3]?
The right to die and physician-assisted suicide medical, legal, and ethical aspects (Part I) [4].
In 1994 a Japanese scientific council made a report concerning "death with dignity" and declared that the withdrawal of foods from PVS patients should be proceeded under his or his supposed will, and in a criminal case decision in 1995, criteria for the active euthanasia in the terminal patients are proposed [5].

Associations of Right to Die with chemical compounds

Although everyone sympathizes with the painful plight of the terminally ill, the specter of physician-assisted suicide gives many pause, and rightfully so: one need only think of the carbon monoxide contraption in the back of Dr. Death's infamous van to realize that society must address the issue of the right to die [6].

Gene context of Right to Die

Right-to-die order revoked as patient in coma awakes [7].
