There was a clear pattern of less support for assisted dying if indications were wider, with only one respondent partially agreeing that assisted dying should be legalized for patients without severe illness who are tired of life and want to die. The most common reason for opposition was assisted dying representing a breach with professional ethics (88 subjects). The most common reason for support was that legalization could provide a safety for patients and next of kin that suffering could be avoided (14 subjects).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A large majority of Norwegian palliative care physicians reject the legalization of assisted dying.
