title: Physicians divided on assisted suicide.
abstract: A recent poll shows Iowa physicians narrowly split on the issue of assisted suicide, with 51% against and 49% in favor of it in under certain conditions. Those opposed say it undermines public trust in physicians; those who support it say it is the most caring thing a physician can do when hope is gone.
