Table 3.

Do health care members’ stances differ when euthanasia concerns people with a terminal or a non-terminal illness

	No distinction	In favour of a distinction
The field of medicine	Justice - Arbitrary difference due to the vagueness of the concept and the subjectivity of the calculated/expected course of e.g., degenerative illnesses, dementia - Beside the question: one’s bearing capacity trumps the prognosis of an illness	Justice - Differences regarding the aspect of time (death is naturally foreseeable or unforeseeable) - Initially, the Law was meant only for people with terminal illnesses
