Italian neurologists and euthanasia: a poll.

C Crisci1, M Guariglia, F Gargano, G Caruso.   

Abstract

We have tried to sound out Italian neurologists regarding their attitude to euthanasia, a very controversial issue today. We gave a short multiple-choice questionnaire to neurologists attending a national conference, asking their opinion on some issues related to euthanasia. 75 (25%) of the 300 doctors polled completed the questionnaire. Answers were often contradictory. A trend in favor of passive euthanasia among the respondents and a strong demand for guidelines are evident. Emotional rather than professional or rational factors seem to play a major role in the approach to this dilemma.
