Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) are controversial topics throughout the entire world. The evolution of medicine has allowed for new medical treatments to be available in the case of incurable diseases, thus prolonging the lifespan of the individual. This, in turn, has brought to light some challenging legal, ethical, and social issues related to end of life medical decisions. The aim of this study is to examine medical students’ knowledge about the legalization of euthanasia and PAS, their attitudes toward them (in various countries), and their reasons for and against these acts.
Keywords: euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, ethics, medical students.
