whats the number of assited suicide deaths through 1998 and 2005?
371066
I, too, believe the answer would not be accurate as many such suicides are not recognized as such. I even had a father in law that was kept alive by his doctor until our family could arrive. Shortly after we spent a couple days with  him, he went into emergency room and was given pain meds and died shortly after.\nI have to agree with the person's answer above that wouldn't it be nice if we could live a quality life rather than gauged on quantity and be allowed to leave this life with dignity when the time comes.

Unfortunately that number is decreasing everyday. You could try contacting the American legion they might have a number. The only numbers I could find were in 2004 there were 4 million alive but they are dying at a rate of 1100 a day. But there was another undated article that said 65,000.

1335 deaths is a .01% fatality rate. There have been roughly 2,500 deaths in Iraq among 133,000 troops, coming to a 1.8% fatality rate, 18,000% higher.\n\nEdit: Even if you assume that all 130,000 troops are recycled every year, the fatality rate is still 0.64%, 6,400% higher than the traffic fatality rate.

According to the US Census for the year 2001, it was New Mexico, with 19.8 suicides per 100,000 people (US National average is 10.8; lowest rate is in New York at 6.6).\n\nDon't ask me why it's higher in New Mexico than elsewhere...

It is difficult to say with any degree of certainty due to the way deaths are reported in differ ant countries. In the U S only 14 were killed in 2005. World wide, it is estimated to be about 300. It is interesting to note that about ten times as many people are killed world wide by falling Coconuts as by lightning.

There is no definite answer to your question since the reported number varies depending on who's counting. The latest study though published by the Lancet medical journal in October 2006, suggested that about 655,000 people had died in Iraq as a result of the 2003 invasion. Quite impressive isn't it? I guess the argument for the war just went out of the window!

Occurrence:\n\nMost popular press articles suggest a link between the winter holidays and suicides (Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania 2003). However, this claim is just a myth. In fact, suicide rates in the United States are lowest in the winter and highest in the spring (CDC 1985, McCleary et al. 1991, Warren et al. 1983). \nSuicide took the lives of 30,622 people in 2001 (CDC 2004). \nSuicide rates are generally higher than the national average in the western states and lower in the eastern and midwestern states (CDC 1997). \nIn 2002, 132,353 individuals were hospitalized following suicide attempts; 116,639 were treated in emergency departments and released (CDC 2004). \nIn 2001, 55% of suicides were committed with a firearm (Anderson and Smith 2003).\n  \nGroups At Risk:\n\nMales\n\nSuicide is the eighth leading cause of death for all U.S. men (Anderson and Smith 2003). \nMales are four times more likely to die from suicide than females (CDC 2004). \nSuicide rates are highest among Whites and second highest among American Indian and Native Alaskan men (CDC 2004). \nOf the 24,672 suicide deaths reported among men in 2001, 60% involved the use of a firearm (Anderson and Smith 2003). \n\nFemales\n\nWomen report attempting suicide during their lifetime about three times as often as men (Krug et al. 2002). \nYouth\nThe overall rate of suicide among youth has declined slowly since 1992 (Lubell, Swahn, Crosby, and Kegler 2004). However, rates remain unacceptably high. Adolescents and young adults often experience stress, confusion, and depression from situations occurring in their families, schools, and communities. Such feelings can overwhelm young people and lead them to consider suicide as a “solution.” Few schools and communities have suicide prevention plans that include screening, referral, and crisis intervention programs for youth.\n\nSuicide is the third leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to 24. In 2001, 3,971 suicides were reported in this group (Anderson and Smith 2003). \nOf the total number of suicides among ages 15 to 24 in 2001, 86% (n=3,409) were male and 14% (n=562) were female (Anderson and Smith 2003). \n\nAmerican Indian and Alaskan Natives have the highest rate of suicide in the 15 to 24 age group (CDC 2004). \nIn 2001, firearms were used in 54% of youth suicides (Anderson and Smith 2003).\n \nThe Elderly\n\nSuicide rates increase with age and are very high among those 65 years and older. Most elderly suicide victims are seen by their primary care provider a few weeks prior to their suicide attempt and diagnosed with their first episode of mild to moderate depression (DHHS 1999). Older adults who are suicidal are also more likely to be suffering from physical illnesses and be divorced or widowed (DHHS 1999; Carney et al. 1994; Dorpat et al. 1968).\n\nIn 2001, 5,393 Americans over age 65 committed suicide. Of those, 85% (n=4,589) were men and 15% (n=804) were women (CDC 2004). \nFirearms were used in 73% of suicides committed by adults over the age of 65 in 2001 (CDC 2004). \n \nRisk Factors:\n\nThe first step in preventing suicide is to identify and understand the risk factors. A risk factor is anything that increases the likelihood that persons will harm themselves. However, risk factors are not necessarily causes. Research has identified the following risk factors for suicide (DHHS 1999):\n\nPrevious suicide attempt(s) \nHistory of mental disorders, particularly depression \nHistory of alcohol and substance abuse \nFamily history of suicide \nFamily history of child maltreatment \nFeelings of hopelessness \nImpulsive or aggressive tendencies \nBarriers to accessing mental health treatment \nLoss (relational, social, work, or financial) \nPhysical illness \nEasy access to lethal methods \nUnwillingness to seek help because of the stigma attached to mental health and substance abuse disorders or suicidal thoughts \nCultural and religious beliefs—for instance,

In 2002 in the United States, there were a total of  2,443,387 deaths by all causes.  Of these, 29,942 involved firearms.  (This would be 1.23%.)  But, 17,108 of these were suicide; aside from these, there were 12,834 firearm deaths (0.53%).\n\nTo put these numbers in perspective, there were 918,628 deaths from major heart disease (37.60%).  There were 45,380 deaths from motor vehicle accidents (1.86%).  There were 14,095 deaths from HIV disease (0.58%).
