Euthanasia, the practice of ending a life prematurely in order to end pain and suffering, is currently considered a criminal offense. Assisted suicide is currently illegal in Ireland but legal in the EU states of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Proponents argue that assisted suicide affords terminally ill people the compassion they deserve. Opponents argue that laws legalising euthanasia are dangerous and could lead to the unnecessary deaths of senior citizens.
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
@98DWMMM1yr1Y
Only if they are in incurable pain and after a psychological exam to show they fully understand their choice.
@98DWMMM1yr1Y
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
@96ZHD97Fianna Fáil1yr1Y
Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice and are at the end of their life
@9427YVH2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if there is no chance of recovery and they have been psychologically examined to show they fully understand this choice
Yes but only if they are going through extreme pain
no real strong opinion whatsoever

Life is living in lcing the cakes when it's lifetime support and legal modes
@99KDCCW1yr1Y
No, with the exception that they are doing it to escape extreme physical pain.
assisted suicide should be done medically & it would then be legal
@98M8BPF1yr1Y
Assisted Suicide should be done medically which would be legal in the eyes of the law
@8VYYT2Z3yrs3Y
We should try to prevent it. But yes
@8TDH3F63yrs3Y
Yes, but after a psychological examination and they should be able to refuse life support.
@8SW57DK3yrs3Y
No and increase funding for palative care
@8PG5VDBIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, but only in limited fields where the individual is suffering

Death is bad. Encourage cryonic suspension instead.
