Vignette: You are a physician who lives in a jurisdiction that allows for euthanasia for
psychiatric conditions. Mary is seeking your help regarding physician-assisted
euthanasia. She says that she has come to this decision on her own accord. Mary is in
her mid 70s and, for the last five years, has had severe, treatment-resistant depression.
This past year, she lost her husband. Shortly following his death, Mary ingested a bottle
of pills and tried to kill herself, but she was not successful. She claims living with
depression is impossible and she no longer wishes to continue living, especially
following the death of her husband. In the past, Mary has tried several anti-depressants
without any improvement in her depression. She has refused psychotherapy and
counselling to treat her depression on several occasions. Despite the knowledge that
they may help, she has refused these treatments as well as other medications (such as
other drugs that have been shown to treat depression). She has also refused
electroconvulsive treatment for depression. In addition to all of this, in the last year,
Mary is showing signs of forgetfulness.
