“…While several studies report that medical staff, patients, and their families support PE and AE in various countries in Europe (Clemens et al, 2008; Havaki-Kontaxaki et al, 2008; Inghelbrecht et al, 2009; Johansen et al, 2005; Kuuppelomäki, 2000; Parpa et al, 2010) and in the United States (Allen et al, 2006), other studies report of opposition for AE in Europe, whether AVE or PAS (McCormack et al, 2012; Müller-Busch et al, 2005; Silvoniemi et al, 2010; Van Bruchem-Van De Scheur et al, 2008). The reports of meta-analytical studies are also inconsistent (Nilstun et al, 2000; Waller, 1986).…”

People ascribe "euthanasia" different values and view it differently. This study hypothesized that a different framing of objectively the same euthanasia situations would affect people's attitudes toward it. Indeed, "positive" framing of euthanasia as not prolonging life resulted in more support for both passive and active euthanasia relative to "negative" framing of the objectively same situations as ending life. Two experiments replicated this pattern using either continuous measures of attitude or dichotomous measures of choice. The article offers two theoretical explanations for the effect of message framing on attitudes toward euthanasia, discusses implications of this effect, and suggests future research.
