This entirely depends on the country. Switzerland is well known for accepting it and is famous for its clinics. The debate happens often in many European countries, with some accepting it in polls.

In the US it’s fairly controversial among the general population, but I’d say more are for it than against. Most professional ethicists are for PAS. Most medical institutions are fine with passive euthanasia, not active, and PAS often gets left out of the discussion. In many countries, PAS is totally accepted.
