Study looks at factors in high veterinary suicide rate in U. K.

摘要

Euthanasia and attitudes about humanity and ending life may be a factor in high suiciderates for veterinarians in the United Kingdom, a study suggests. "This altered attitude to death may then facilitate justification and lower their inhibitions towards perceiving suicide as a solution to their own problems," David Bartram writes in a newstudy on suicide among veterinarians. Studies reveal that 93 percent of veterinary healthcare workers are inclined to favor euthanasia of human beings, and veterinarians struggle over the desire to preserve life and the ability to end suffering.
