  11. Poll: Should doctors tell terminally ill patients they're dying?

    As my colleague Melissa Healy <a href="http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-physicians-terminal-patients-20130424,0,1331439.story">noted</a> Thursday, a British medical journal recently invited doctors who specialize in end-of-life care to debate whether patients should be told that they're terminally ill. Two London-based palliative care doctors argued <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2589">in favor of disclosure</a>, writing that it was "essential to decision-making" in addition to being the most ethical approach. The head of the palliative care section of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, meanwhile, <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2560">asserted</a> that telling patients they were terminal was "a failed model for medical decision making that creates more suffering than it relieves."

A BBC<a href="http://www.harrisinteractive.com/NewsRoom/HarrisPolls/tabid/447/mid/1508/articleId/677/ctl/ReadCustom%20Default/Default.aspx"> World News America/Harris Poll</a> from the year before found that 58% believed that physician-assisted suicide should be a legal option for patients who request it.
