Survey Analysis THE QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH OF PUBLIC OPINION ON EUTHANASIA AND ITS ANALYSIS. The survey’s main purpose was to get a small insight about whether the general public is knowledgable about what Active Voluntary Euthanasia is, and also what they think about it. We thought that such a survey was the best way to get about it. The two dominant biases with regards to this survey were global under-coverage and non-responsiveness. One must note that apart from posting it on our official GħSL Facebook page we didn’t share it on any other social media pages, therefore limiting our reach. For this survey, we gathered a sample of about 313 responses. The scope was that whoever sees our page could easily respond to it, and moreover we attract more of the pool that we wanted to target furthermost, which was that of University students. Right: Figure One Gender of Respondants The following examination of results is the tip of the iceberg. We analysed the results and responses by way of basic common knowledge, rather than delving into the more deep, philosophical and ethical reasonings as to why respondents answered in the way they did.
