How many people agree with legalizing medically assisted suicide?

Question

I am looking for charts, graphs, poll results, etc. to use in a report. I have been looking for a while and can't find any exact results. If possible, I need published sources, like pamphlets, newspaper articals, etc.

Answer 1

I went into Yahoo Search and typed....Assisted Suicide Statistics and found multiple sites on this country and others....try this, it should give you all you need because the sites were very informative.....and yes, I do believe assisted suicide should be legalized...............

Answer 2

Physician assisted suicide is currently banned by all 50 states except for Oregon, and that is not likely to change in the near future. While it's been a hot topic for many years, the AMA and leading ethics advisors not that long ago reached the consensus that physician assisted suicide violates the hippocratic oath, does not fall into the level of care a physician is morally obliged to provide, and is flat out unethical.

Try searching the AMA's website, but I doubt you're going to find a lot of hard, statistical data on the issue.

Answer 3

Medically assisted suicide exists in Oregon. In order for a patient to be eligible, they must have resided in the state for at least 6 mos., and have a clear mind.
I am totally for this choice for ending one's life. We don't typically let animals suffer, so why should we let people?
You may find what you are looking for by googling "Oregon medical suicide".

Answer 4

unfortunately i don't have such info but for my opinion i totaly disagree with suicide as an issue then what about getting medical assistance if such issue is allowed then no one will be living on earth for two reasons ppl who want to commit suicide and scare of taking this step will do it easily the other is that anyone who passes by hard time or depressed a bit will easily getrid of himself/herself this way with the pressure we all live these days and the daily frustrations we face no one will have to bare it and commit suicide and won't bare to try to solve there problems or get over them
