Doctors remain fairly evenly split on whether physician-assisted dying should be legalised, as the political debate on the issue progresses, a survey by Doctors.net.uk has found.

Almost 48% of respondents were against legalising it, while nearly 45% said they supported the prospect. And a majority said a physician-assisted dying (PAD) law would negatively impact the medical profession.
