Abstract
This study aims to examine the attitudes of Turkish physicians towards euthanasia (death) tourism and to investigate the differences in these attitudes according to demographic variables. The questionnaire form prepared was applied to 424 physicians in the Marmara Region, where medical tourism is most intense. Physicians have generally expressed that individuals should be given the right to die, especially in cases of medically untreatable painful illnesses, they have shown support for euthanasia. The vast majority of physicians think that culture, lifestyle, religion are effective in the fact that euthanasia is not legal in Turkey. Turkish physicians have stated that they do not believe euthanasia will become legal in Turkey within the next decade. Determining whether Muslim Turkish physicians, who are the practitioners of euthanasia, support or oppose euthanasia and euthanasia tourism despite their religious beliefs, and the results of the study may serve as an example for many Muslim countries.
