Case 1: Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the legendary psychologist, was diagnosed with oral
cancer after a lifetime of cigar smoking. During his final years, Freud's health went up and
down, but in early 1939 a large swelling formed in the back of his mouth, and he would have
no more good days. Freud's cancer was active and inoperable, and he was also suffering from
heart failure. As his bones decayed, they cast off a foul smell, driving away his favourite dog.
Mosquito netting had to be draped over his bed to keep flies away.
On September 21, at the age of 83,
Freud took his friend and personal physician, Max Schur,
by the hand and said, "My dear Schur, you
certainly remember our
first talk. You promised
me then not to forsake me when my time comes. Now it's nothing but torture and makes no
sense anymore.” Forty years earlier Freud had written, "What has the individual come to
if one no longer dares to disclose that it is this
or that man's turn to die?" Dr. Schur said he
understood Freud's request.
He injected Freud with
a drug in order
to end his
life. He soon
felt relief," Dr. Schur wrote, "and fell into a peaceful sleep."
