While discussing physician assisted death, James Keenan noted that the case of Uncle Louis cannot be regarded as a representative one, enough to validate P.A.S. This is because of facts and figures which accounts for wide gender disparity when it comes to the question of P.A.S. Medical practitioners have noted time and again that women are more likely to be candidates for P.A.S. than men. This is not merely because of the factor of longevity, but in fact, is indicative of the economic destituteness of women. When impoverishment is coupled with old age, it naturally leads to depression which is one of the leading factors behind P.A.S. Keenan would argue that such a reality points towards a general societal failure of accommodating a woman’s rights and autonomy.
