Lithuanian physicians' attitudes toward E/PAS and other end-of-life decisions are strongly influenced by ethical, religious, and professional considerations. Significantly lower acceptance for psychiatric patients indicates higher sensitivity regarding mental competency and the ethics of E/PAS in such cases. These findings provide important insights for policymakers and healthcare providers in crafting informed and ethical E/PAS guidelines
