Yes, but only if the there is no chance to survive or cannot thrive with their illness and goes through psychological examination to access if they fully understand and accept this choice

 @9ZT6RYSanswered…2wks2W

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

 @9ZMGKRG answered…3wks3W

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

 @9YNJPRN answered…1mo1MO

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

 @9ZCDJ9Y answered…1mo1MO

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.

 @9ZCTZV6answered…1mo1MO

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
