lower when the word "suicide" is used to describe the
actions.
Respondents were 51 per cent in favour making it legal
for doctors to give terminally ill patients the means to
end their lives.

44 per cent of respondents were in favour of making
it legal for doctors to assist terminally ill patients in
committing suicide.
