Medical students' perspectives on euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide and their views on legalising these practices in South Africa.

CONCLUSIONS: More than half the respondents in this study were open to legalising euthanasia/PAS, substantially more than in previous studies. However, only 41.9% of respondents would consider actually performing euthanasia/PAS, for certain patients. Views of other healthcare workers as well as the public are required before policy can be informed. PMID: 30004328 [PubMed - in process]
