AB  - The study aimed to describe views on Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), gleaned 
      through qualitative analysis of participant responses to a set activity, run 
      during the 2018 'Dying2Learn' Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). Data from 508 
      participants, most of whom identified as health professionals, were analysed 
      using thematic content analysis, and themes generated. A large proportion of 
      participants discussed their personal views related to VAD, specifically around 
      choice, control, dignity, palliative care and dying at home, medical 
      intervention, societal factors, the impact on those left behind, laws and 
      regulations, dying 'naturally', advance care directives, and being in pain. In 
      this study, participants had many different views on the act itself, often 
      divisive, but also with common concepts such as respecting the choices and 
      decisions of others.
