Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?

Only if they will not survive and it can ease their suffering.

Yes, but available viable alternates to improve quality of life must be available and provided for by the government.

In theory yes they should be given enough fentanyl or other hospice drug as requested and if an overdose happens they shouldn't be resuscitated but assisted suicide is more slippery we've seen gradual over creep where it begins for terminally ill then mentally ill now canada offers to kill you before they help you and replace social welfare with the lethal injection 1/4 of Canadians believe that poverty is a good enough reason for euthanasia instead of helping their downtrodden citizens they found a progressive way to kill the poor.

All of the above, they should be certain that there's no survivability, examined so that they're fully aware of what's happening, and they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support, however this should NEVER be advertised to people who aren't definitely terminal

No, because there may end up being pressure felt by terminally ill people to ease the ‘burden’ on their families and take assisted suicide

No but I do not believe in prosecuting close family members who have assisted a love one to die with dignity unless there is a genuine belief that there was no consent i.e. suspicion of murder.

Yes but only if there is absolute no chance of surviving their illness AND after a psychological evaluation understanding their choice

Yea I think that after a psychological evaluation and proof that their quality of life will not be adequate they should be allowed to make this decision for themselves

Yes, but only in a system where all care they could require to live comfortably is free so that it does not become the sole option for poorer people.

Yes, but only after a psychological examination that shows they understand this choice and are making it for the right reasons. They should also have to wait for a certain period after their diagnosis before it's allowed, and they should only be able to do it if they will 100% die from this disease and nobody else, not even someone medically responsible for them should be allowed to make the choice for them. It should be a highly regulated process.

Yes, but only if they have a poor quality of life/are suffering with no chance of comfort. And they understand their choice.

This is a tricky new concept. I feel the patient may need a form of therapy and psychological session to make sure they’re fully of their decisions. I would say yes, but under strong regulations

Yes but only if they are going through extreme pain

no real strong opinion whatsoever

If someone wants to die, they should be given the choice to die on their own terms with dignity

Life is living in lcing the cakes when it's lifetime support and legal modes

Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice and are at the end of their life

Yes, but only if there is no chance of recovery and they have been psychologically examined to show they fully understand this choice

We should try to prevent it. But yes

Yes, but after a psychological examination and they should be able to refuse life support.

No, with the exception that they are doing it to escape extreme physical pain.

No and increase funding for palative care

Only if they are in incurable pain and after a psychological exam to show they fully understand their choice.

Yes, but only in limited fields where the individual is suffering

Only if they are in

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness and by court order and psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

Assisted Suicide should be done medically which would be legal in the eyes of the law

assisted suicide should be done medically & it would then be legal

If a friend were suffering terminally, what advice would you give them about the choices they have at the end of their life?

How would you feel if you had the power to end a loved one's suffering through a decision, knowing their condition is irreversible?

What do you think about the idea of having the right to choose how one's life ends, especially in cases of extreme, untreatable pain?

How might your personal values or beliefs influence your stance on whether individuals should have autonomy over their own life and death?

Can you imagine a situation where ending one's own life might feel like an act of compassion rather than a crime?

Death is bad. Encourage cryonic suspension instead.

What are your thoughts on the balance between the sanctity of life and alleviating unbearable suffering when no cure is available?

How might cultural or religious backgrounds shape one's opinion on whether assisted suicide should be a personal choice?

Do you think that pain and the right to avoid it should factor into the legalization of assisted death for terminally ill patients?

If you were to put yourself in the shoes of someone with a terminal illness, how might your perspective on assisted suicide change?

What are the potential societal implications of legalizing assisted suicide for those who are terminally ill?
