Abstract
The findings reported in this article are based on a nationwide survey of the attitudes and practices of pediatric surgeons and pediatricians with respect to some of the difficult ethical choices confronting them in medical practice. Four hundred fifty-seven physicians completed a questionnaire in the spring of 1975 in which they reacted to a wide range of issues that have been of increasing concern to the public, as well as to the medical profession. The survey attempts to identify some areas of physician consensus as well as some of the factors, personal and professional, influencing physicians' attitudes. The survey and its statistical analysis are intended to provide current sociological data and are not intended by the authors as an endorsement of any particular point of view or course of action.
