Majority Accept Physician‑Assisted Death

A spring‑2025 Pew survey shows about 6 in 10 U.S. adults say patients ending their lives with a doctor's help is either morally acceptable (34%) or not a moral issue (29%), while 35% call it morally wrong. Views vary sharply by party and ideology: Democrats — especially liberals — are far more likely to accept it, while Republicans are split, with conservative Republicans most likely to oppose it. — Rising public acceptance can change the political feasibility of legalizing assisted‑dying laws, reshape medical‑ethical norms, and reframe end‑of‑life policy debates at state and federal levels.
