Elaborating on these points in a further review (Sulmasy et al., 2018), the same author draws on the same argument, and further adduces arguments that have been discussed earlier in this paper, such as the limits of autonomy, the distinction between active killing and passive denial of particular treatments, the social ramifications of suicide and assisted suicide, and the possibility of a slippery slope characterized by incremental extension. Based on these, he concludes that the medical profession should continue its opposition to PAS on both prudential and ethical grounds.

Physicians' Characteristics and Attitudes towards Medically Assisted Dying for Non-competent Patients with Dementia. The significant discrepancy between these results suggests that legalization of PAS may produce significant shifts in the attitudes of caregivers towards this practice, regardless of their earlier attitudes; moreover, such attitudes and shifts are unlikely to be uniform, and may be crucially influenced by variables such as sex and ethnicity (Owen et al., 2001; Wicher and Meeker, 2012; Stolz et al., 2015; Cohen-Mansfield and Brill, 2020) as well as by individual political and religious beliefs (Kemmelmeier et al., 2002; Richter et al., 2001; O'Dwyer et al., 2016).

Physician-assisted suicide occurs when a physician provides a medical means for death, usually a prescription for a lethal amount of medication that the patient takes on his or her own. Uncertainty avoidance refers to the manner in which a society or culture handles ambiguous or unclear situations; a high score on this dimension indicates a low tolerance of uncertainty, and the existence of beliefs or institutions that attempt to avoid ambiguity and provide unequivocal answers or solutions. Given the ambiguity and uncertainty that surrounds an issue such as assisted dying (Pullman, 2004; Niebroj et al., 2013), it is natural that societies scoring high on uncertainty avoidance would attempt to resolve this through uniform disapproval. 27, 409417. Opin.
