[QUOTE="jayem, post: 74035065, member: 8344"] According to the linked article in the OP, the cause of her death was self-starvation. The role of her physicians may have been passive, in that they did not intervene. Which is not active physician-assisted suicide. But it is an ambiguous situation. Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric illness. It's difficult to treat, and has the highest mortality of all the eating disorders. A 2016 German study found the standardized mortality ratio was 5.35 for AN. This means that deaths among AN patients were 5.35 times higher than the number of deaths that would be expected in an age and sex-matched population. It's a very bad disease.
