A ComRes opinion poll published on the 6th November reveals that 10% of British adults agree "with the author Martin Amis who thinks elderly people should be rewarded for ending their lives."
Nearly three in five (58%) agree that if the law is changed, it will be impossible to make the system completely safe from abuse by unscrupulous relatives or others who could influence the process.
Andrea Williams commented: "This result is shocking. We need to work even harder to highlight the dangers of assisted suicide. Other evidence suggests that when people are presented with the arguments against, support for assisted suicide drops dramatically."
