Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This cross-national analysis of eighteen industrial democracies focuses on alternative explanations for the adoption of physician-assisted suicide (PAS). Specifically, we hypothesize that debate over the legalization of PAS will be associated with inefficiency in the deliver of health care and old age dependency; two variables with economic underpinnings. We also test the relationship between public discussion of PAS and religious pluralism, as well as alternative forms of unnatural death. Using primarily World Health Organization data, we find support for our primary thesis that economic considerations are correlated with the adoption of legislation dealing with PAS. Specifically, ineptness in the delivery of health care is most strongly correlated with PAS legislation, in the nations we study. Our other economic consideration, old age dependency, also receives empirical support. Religious pluralism and homicide rates are likewise higher in nations that have led the debate over the adoption of PAS.
