From the Paper:
"Aronson reports that all individuals have Thanatos, or the death instinct, which can manifest itself in a variety of self-destructive ways. These ways include suicide, which occurs when Thanatos is turned inwardly; or, when turned outwardly, Thanatos can become hostility, destructiveness, and murder (Aronson, 1988, pp. 186-187). Whether or not individuals are aware of Thanatos, they all at some point in life consider their own mortality. Sheehy concurs that all individuals manifest knowledge regarding their own mortality. This knowledge, however, does not occur until the late thirties or forties, until there is an unexpected brush with death, or until the individual becomes aware of impending death from serious illness. Further, all individuals fear their deaths, particularly when they have not accepted dying as a part of life, a passage that all individuals must transcend."More papers on Euthanasia and its History:
