Exploring public views on assisted dying

We are working to explore public views on assisted dying in England and the associated social, ethical, and practical considerations that people consider important in forming their views and in their deliberations.

We have commissioned Hopkins Van Mil, working with M.E.L Research and the Sortition Foundation to design, facilitate, and organise a series of surveys and a Citizens’ Jury to unpack people’s perspectives on assisted dying and the associated social, ethical, and practical considerations that underpin them.

We are not publishing our own recommendations or an organisational position on assisted dying. Our focus is on supporting an informed national conversation through publishing findings from the public engagement and survey work.

This project is being overseen by an Advisory Board. The project team is also being supported by a Content Group. The project is funded by a grant from the AB Charitable Trust.
