Support for change in assisted suicide law There is strong public support for a change in the law to allow doctors to help terminally ill people end their lives, a survey has found. A Populus poll shows 74 per cent of people wanted the medical profession to be able to supervise assisted suicides. Support was said to be particularly strong among those aged 55 to 64.
