Not only is it unprofessional, I believe it is also against the rules of College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Absolutely it is!
More so for psychological services. But a doctor would have an unfair power over the other person, know their weaknesses and be able to influence them in any course of treatment instead of allowing the patient to make an informed decision.

Depends. Doctor like just a basic doctor for checkups and whatnot, it's ok. If you're a surgeon... Not quite. Emotionally attached to patients with their life at stake = bad. Also could cloud your judgement.

I would say not unethical, but perhaps unwise if he does not take her seriously. I know of a woman who married her chiropractor, but I'm not sure that's the same thing. The big risk is that he will lose his objectivity in dealing with her medical problems.

Not unless the doctor is a psychiatrist, a pediatrician or maybe a gynecologist.

I dont think so. But once they start dating, the doctor should refer her/him to another doctor.

YES! YES! YES! If they see each other on a personal level, they MUST terminate the professional level.

I would have to say no. Only because, the woman is not working for him.

I don't see what the problem is! If they like each other, then so be it. Who cares?

I don't see why it would be as long as they like each other.
