Very strongly agree

No

Religious conservatism generally opposes assisted suicide, believing that life is sacred and should be preserved until natural death. Many religious conservatives argue that suffering can have spiritual value and that it is not for humans to decide when life should end. For instance, the Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution in 1992 opposing euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Agree

No, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support

Some religious conservatives may accept the refusal of artificial life support as a morally permissible option, as it allows for a natural death rather than actively ending a life. This position is often based on the distinction between extraordinary and ordinary means of medical treatment. For example, the Catholic Church teaches that patients have the right to refuse burdensome or disproportionate treatments, but it does not endorse assisted suicide.

Disagree

Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

Although this answer includes a psychological examination, religious conservatism still generally opposes assisted suicide. The belief in the sanctity of life and the idea that only God has the authority to take a life remain central to this opposition. The inclusion of a psychological examination may not be enough to sway religious conservatives to support assisted suicide.
