Abstract:
In order to find out the social attitude towards euthanasia and related issues,we conduct a questionnaire investigation on medical staff,patients,medical school students,and community groups in Beijing.From the survey,we find out that there is a relatively high degree of awareness of euthanasia,and the different attitudes for euthanasia are relevant to the educational backgrounds and professional backgrounds.In addition,by analyzing the mentality of people talking about the death,we find out that people with a healthy outlook on life and death are more inclined to agree with active euthanasia.
