A study into UK geriatricians' attitudes towards voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted death has been published in Age and Ageing. A postal questionnaire was sent to 742 consultant members of the British Geriatrics Society, and 82% considered active voluntary euthanasia never to be ethically justified, while 23% supported legalization in some situations and 13% would be willing to administer active voluntary euthanasia in some situations.
