Opis

A survey of over 900 doctors and nurses in New Zealand about their support for, or opposition to the likely legalisation of some form of assisted dying (AD) in New Zealand. Some of the topics covered are: What were the influences on your attitude? What would facilitate your participation in AD, what would deter you? In what circumstances should it be available? How willing are you to participate in AD? Would you support AD as an option for your own end of life? What do you expect from your professional association to support your participation? Responses from doctors and nurses are compared/contrasted.
