Summary

The main aim of this project is to analyze and understand the meaning of explicit requests to hasten death (euthanasia and assisted suicide) from older people living in an Establishment of accommodation for dependent old persons. This involves conducting interviews with patients, carers to whom the request has been expressed and a relative chosen by the patient. This study aims to describe the request over time. This will be done through two series of interviews, one as soon as it is first expressed, then one week later.
