title: [Freedom and voluntary death: suicide as ideology].
abstract: Voices have been increasing in the last years, demanding the right of men to choose time and way of ending his life, thus asking consequently the liberty for mankind of killing themselves. The most important of these ideas are explained in connection with their philosophical, psychological and sociological background and confronted with the results of modern suicide research. The outcome of this review gives, however, no reason for changes in the previous and successful ways of suicide prevention.
