Kane uses humour and grotesque beauty in 4.48 Psychosis to convey a fierce criticism against the failures of the Western medical model. Basing the play in an imaginary almost limbo-like world, Kane does not use theatrical devices of plot and setting, despite visually depicting a mind/ body split in both text and performance. Instead, she delivers prolific fierce dialogue against the medical treatment of mental illnesses, exposing what it means to be mentally ill and how compassion and…

as part of the civil liberties, have a right to die or be help in the process by a doctor or others; are states banning doctors with these circumstances unconstitutional, and a summary of the video on assisted suicides. My opinion about a person assisting a terminally ill person, in suicide is okay. This person is waking up every single day suffering and in pain because of their permanent illness.
