Özet
Bu çalışmada Euthanasia'nın (Ötenazi) tanımı ve kısa ta¬rihsel gelişiminden sonra, 208 i Tıp Fakültesi V. sınıf öğren¬cisi, 302 si tıp doktoru olan toplam 510 tıp mensubuna yö¬nelik bir anket çalışması uygulandı. Konu hakkındaki bilgi düzeyi, konunun tartışılabileceği çevreler, bireyin kendi ya¬şamı üzerinde karar verme hakkı, halen uygulanıp uygulan¬madığı hakkındaki düşünceleri, uygulamaya taraftar olup ol¬madığı ve eylemde görev alıp almayacağına ilişkin çoktan seçmeli 6 adet soru yönetildi. Ankete katılanlardan 1/3 inin konu hakkında yeterli bilgisi olmadığı, 325 inin (%63-72) uy¬gulamaya taraftar olmalarına karşın, 351 inin (%68.82) yasal düzenlemeler yapılsa bile uygulamada görev almak isteme¬dikleri saptandı. Konuya taraftar olan ve karşı çıkanların gö¬rüşleri özetlenerek, pasif ötanazinin yasal olmasına karşın gerektiğinde uygulanmakta olduğu; hekimlerin uygulamada görev almak istememelerine karşın, genellikle konunun ya-sallaşmasına taraftar oldukları saptandı.
