Royal College of Physicians drops their opposition to assisted dying, following controversial poll The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) has dropped its opposition to assisted dying, following a controversial poll.
The college will adopt a “neutral” stance after a survey of its 36,000 members about whether the law should be changed to permit doctor-assisted dying.
The poll found 43.4 per cent of respondents were opposed to a change in the law - little different to a finding of 44.4 per cent when the poll was conducted in 2014.
The number wanting the college to support assisted dying increased to 31.6 per cent from 24.6 per cent. The Daily Telegraph
