Although right-to-die initiatives have failed in Washington and California in recent years, the issue will resurface in Ohio and New Hampshire later this year. In a Gannett News Service article published in the April 12 Chicago Sun-Times, Ross Goldstein, a San Francisco psychologist and "trend tracker," states that physician-assisted suicide will soon become accepted. He predicts a new form of doctor/manager will surface to help families decide whether to take this step and how to do so. "Baby boomers don't turn over authority to their doctors," he says. "When they reach the end state, they will expect to be part of the decision-making team." For now, the debate centers around individual cases and two different approaches, as exemplified by two different proponents. On the one hand is Jack Kevorkian, who envisions a network of death doctors or "obitiatrists" practicing "medicine." On the other is Timothy Quill, who calls for more humane care for the dying and the legalization of physician-assisted suicide, but with strict guidelines and in the confines of a long-term doctor-patient relationship. The following articles look at reactions in Michigan toward Kevorkian and at a case in British Columbia that may reach the Supreme Court of Canada.

A five-part documentary entitled "Healing and the Mind," which aired on PBS-TV stations nationwide February 22-24, explored the roles of thoughts and emotions in illness and health. It also raised some interesting questions regarding the relationship between mainstream Western medicine and alternative forms of therapies that are considered by most to be outside the mainstream. The Moyers documentary is reviewed by Frank Sabatino in the February 20 issue of Hospitals magazine (pp. 66-72). A companion volume to the PBS series, also titled Healing and the Mind, has been published (1993, New York City, Doubleday, $25). The TV series is but one of a number of events that signal a growing awareness and interest in alternative approaches to medicine, and the relationship between those who support these approaches and those in the bioethics field will most likely become entwined, as the following articles show.

In recent years, despite differences in opinion, society has forged a general consensus about how health care decisions will be made for incapacitated patients. Key to this general agreement is the participation of family members in discussions with health providers, courts, lawyers, and legislators. The following articles summarize some recent involvement of these families in educational efforts.
