Although doctors tend to support legalization as a public policy,
results are mixed when asked whether they would personally participate
in assisting a patient. A plurality (46%) would not assist a patient
for any reason.

When asked to describe the source of their attitudes toward
physician assisted suicide, a plurality of doctors offered
their understanding of their obligations as physicians (40%),
followed by their general moral values (24%), their view of
patient autonomy (20%), and their religious beliefs (13%)
among other factors. Mittleman or Glenn Kessler, please contact Sherry
