Supplementary notes

This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Under the proposal to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill & mentally competent adults, two doctors would independently assess whether the person is of sound mind and terminally ill with 6 months or less to live. The doctors would independently explore the reasons for the request for assisted dying, review the person's medical care, consult with other professionals and write the prescription for the life-ending medication. The patient would take this medication themselves. If this proposal became law, to what extent, if at all, would it increase or decrease your trust in doctors to always act in the best interests of their patients?"
