title: Moral development and perceptions of attempted suicide and physician-assisted suicide.
abstract: In a sample of 115 undergraduates, no association was found between a measure of moral development and the perception of attempted suicides. For the 85 women in the sample, a higher moral development score was associated with less approval of physician-assisted suicide.
