48% of Poles support euthanasia

Description:

The Public Opinion Research Center of Poland conducted a survey on euthanasia. The results:

  • 48% of respondents felt the doctors should fulfil the will of suffering, incurable patients who want to end their life.

  • 39% were against it, while 13% had no opinion.

  • 61% felt that people suffering with an incurable disease should have the result to decide about their own life. 31% felt that decision should not be allowed.

The Public Opinion Research Center of Poland (CBOS) established in 1982, is a publicly funded independent research centre. [Editor: the poll is not yet posted on their site.]
