Euthanasia, thoughts and opinions

Hello, 

Thank you for your interest in my research!

I'm Anna and I'm a student at the Kaunas University of Technology; my research is going to be focused on Euthanasia and what people think about this topic.

The questions will be submitted through a questionnaire and will include not only the respondent's thoughts about euthanasia, but also information about their gender, their age and the personal background of their lives. 

The questionnaire is specifically addressed to people from 18 to 60 years old and it will include mostly closed-ended question where to choose just one answer, the one closer to the respondent's opinion. There will also be spaces where to share and explain personal opinions.

This questionnaire is totally anonymous and the respondents are free to answer to whatever they prefer.

The respondents will be given a 10 euros gift card to use in every lithuanian supermarket. 

My e-mail is: [email protected], please don't hesitate to contact me in case of questions, problems or curiosity of every kind.

Thank you for participate!

Do you know what euthanasia is?

Euthanasia is the painless killing of a patient who is suffering from an incurable and painful disease. Do you think euthanasia is ethical?

Who do you think should decide if ending a life or not (doctors, parents, politicians...)?

If a family member or a friend was suffering due to a terminal illness, and he preferred to just end his life, would you let him? Explain your reasons.

How do you define euthanasia?

Answer on the base of your personal opinion

Totally disagreeDisagreeModerateAgreeTotally agree
When a person has a disease that cannot be cured and is living in severe pain, doctors should be allowed by law to assist the patient to proceed with euthanasia, if the patient request it.
Euthanasia should be legalized in Lithuania.
If someone is found guilty of assisting a terminally ill son or daughter, should be prosecuted.
Animals are put to sleep when they are suffering, we should do the same for humans.

If you were diagnosed with a terminal disease, would you want to have the option of ending your life instead of living in pain?

Friedrich Nietzsche said: "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." Do you agree?
