For the first time, most U.S. doctors — 54 percent — favor assisted suicide, backing the rights of patients with an "incurable illness" to seek "a dignified death," according to a survey of more than 21,000 doctors released Tuesday night by Medscape. In 2010, a Medscape survey asked the same question, finding that 46 percent of doctors agreed with the notion of assisted suicide. Medscape, owned by WebMD, is an online resource for physicians.
The new survey was conducted from September through November — a time that paralleled the highly public campaign waged by Brittany Maynard, 29, who decided to end her own life with a lethal prescription on Nov. 1 to avoid the final stages of terminal brain cancer. She died in Oregon, where "death with dignity" is legal.

"It represents a remarkable shift," said Arthur Caplan, founding head of the division of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center, and a frequent NBC News contributor. "If physician opposition continues to weaken, it is likely that despite fierce resistance from some religious groups and some in the disability community, more states will follow Oregon, Washington and Vermont, and legalize."
