Recent data for the spin-dependent A{sub T}, and A{sub TL}, asymmetries in {sup 3}He[pol]({rvec e}, e{prime}) quasielastic scattering are reviewed. The neutron electric and magnetic form factors are extracted from the data using a plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) model, and the model uncertainties are estimated. The extracted G{sub M}{sup n} is in agreement with the dipole prediction as well as with other recent experiments. No meaningful result for G{sub E}{sup n} is obtained due to large uncertainties and possible final-state interaction effects. At higher Q{sup 2}, the determination of G{sub E}{sup n} in {sup 3}He[pol]({rvec e},e{prime}) does appear feasible based on the plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) predictions.
