The present study examined the hypothesis that there is a relationship between outlook on death and orientation toward mercy killing, abortion, suicide, and euthanasia. Multiple assessments of death outlook in addition to such variables as religious orientation, life values, self-acceptance, and ethnic background were used as predictors. Populations included alcoholics, drug addicts, prisoners, deputy sheriffs, and normal controls. Major findings indicated some relationships between death attitudes and perspectives on the social issues being considered; and emphasized the need to consider specific circumstances as well as abstract concept when dealing with social issues
