ResearchNZ poll on Euthanasia

ResearchNZ polled 500 people on euthanasia:

Suppose a person has a painful, incurable disease. Do you think that doctors should be allowed by law to end the patient’s life, if the patient requests it?

• Yes 65% (-2% from July 2015)
• No 22% (-2%)
• Don’t Know 13% (+4%)

Still thinking of that person with a painful, incurable disease, do you think that someone else, such as a close relative, should be allowed by law to help end the patient’s life, if the patient requests it?

• Yes 43% (-1%)
• No 46% (-2%)
• Don’t Know 11% (+3%)
