Description
Hamaad Ahmad Khan and the VOICE collaboration survey, in a 2026 national study, how ready British and Irish medical students feel for assisted dying law. With legislation advancing through the United Kingdom's parliament, today's students may be the first doctors practicing under it. Their questionnaire reached 896 students across the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2025, measuring ethical views, confidence, legal knowledge, and how much teaching their schools provide.
Support ran broad but shallow. Most students, 64.5 percent, believed assisted dying can be ethically justified, yet only 7.6 percent could correctly identify all the eligibility criteria, and nearly seventy percent reported minimal teaching on the subject. Teaching tracked with both greater confidence and stronger ethical agreement in the models. Students also worried about coercion and inequality in how such a law might operate. The authors conclude the future workforce endorses the principle while lacking the preparation, and they call for curricula before the law arrives.
