Did you know that the 2013 Northern Ireland Life and Times survey asked respondents if they thought that doctors should be allowed by law to end the life of a patient with a painful incurable disease, if the patient requests it? Six out of ten respondents (63%) thought that this should definitely or probably be allowed, although there were differences depending on the age of respondent: 48% of those aged 65 years or over were in support, compared with 76% of those aged 18-24 years.
The full results to this question can be seen on the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey website.
