Requests for Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide: a Prospective, Multicenter and Qualitative Study of Their Frequency and Characteristics, of Patients' Motivations and Their Evolution
This study take place in the palliative care units of Burgundy-Franche-Comté regions and at
the Maison Médicale Jeanne Garnier. The main aim of this project is to analyze and
understand the meaning of explicit requests to hasten death (euthanasia and assisted
suicide).
This involves conducting interviews with patients, carers to whom the request has been
expressed and a relative chosen by the patient. This study aims to describe the request over
time. This will be done through two series of interviews, one as soon as it is first
expressed, then one week later.
