"This book investigates the law's approach to suicide in England and Wales. It explores
the seismic shift in perceptions of the law's role in respect of suicide from imprisonment
as a punishment for attempting suicide, to courts hearing arguments about whether
there is not only a right to suicide but also a right to assistance in suicide. This
development stands alongside a global recognition of suicide prevention as a public
health priority. In this book, the dual priorities of respect for autonomy and the
protection of human life are recognised as equally important and the legal issues
surrounding suicide in a range of different contemporary contexts, including suicide
in prison and juvenile suicide, are considered. The book also investigates what the
relationship between mental health and suicide means for its legal regulation, and
evaluates the enduring legal offence of assisted suicide, particularly in the context
of the terminally ill. It is argued that a more refined approach to the topic of voluntary
death should be recognised in the law; one that distinguishes more clearly between
autonomous decision-making about the end of life, and incapacitated self-caused risks
to life that require effective preventative interventions"
