Voluntary euthanasia: responses of medical practitioners in NSW and the ACT to six open-ended questions.
Six open-ended questions from a survey of 1271 randomly selected medical practitioners on active voluntary euthanasia (AVE) and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) was examined. In spite of some extreme written views for and against the procedures, the majority of practitioners were considered, concerned, sympathetic and troubled about AVE and PAS.
