Previous post prompted me to look to the General Social Survey in regards to attitudes to assisted suicide broken down by demographic variables. The variable I used was DOCSUI, which asks:
How much do you agree of disagree with the following options for this person? This person should ask for physician-assisted suicide
The N was a little more than 1200, and the question was asked in 1998. I put the extreme and moderate views together (strongly and not strongly). Below a chart and the raw data in a table.
