Nearly three out of four Delaware physicians surveyed (74%) say they support current legislation that would allow terminally ill adults the legal option of medical aid in dying to end their suffering. In addition, more than three out of four physicians (77%) in the survey who identified as a member of the Medical Society of Delaware (MSD) support the medical aid-in-dying legislation, the Ron Silverio/Heather Block Delaware End of Life Options Act (HB 140).
