in specific circumstances: if the patient is in pain and if prolonging there life will cause more pain and suffering then yes but if the person isn't in pain or there not going to die anytime soon then ABSOLUTELY NO!..

 @9K2TWMDanswered…1mo1MO

yes, if there's no chance of surviving, they fully understand their choice, and dying would lead to a more painful death than assisted suicide

 @9JC8FRManswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but it should be an absolute final resort when all options are exhausted and the patient 100% confirms and consents.

 @99HR33Janswered…1yr1Y

that's not for us to make that is their choice of what they end up doing with their life. i mean that respectfully

 @992BSPCanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, provided that there is no chance to survive after all avenue have been exhausted and the family of the ill patient have been counselled and have come to an acceptance/approval to the ill patient's situation and they are not going to profit from the situation.

 @98SVZCJGreenanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but there should be a commission to ensure that the government is not prioritising MAiD as a low cost alternative to social welfare programs

 @94986M5Laboranswered…2yrs2Y

If they have no chance of surviving and go through the psychological examination.

 @9346PS9answered…2yrs2Y

If they have only a few days left to live and they understand the choice they’re making then they should be free to end their own lives. This should remain exactly like this and not differ, as there should be no other reason for a population decline as they struggle and no incentive to cause this (even then, consequences for products that could make you terminally ill could be incentivised, e.g. cigarettes, chemicals, etc)

 @9335B8Lanswered…2yrs2Y

We should be increasing supports to ill people to meet all their needs, so that dying isnt a more viable option to them than living.

 @93359CManswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but government should do everything possible to fix structural and quality of life issues beforehand, so no one is dying just because they can't get accessible house (as seen in Canada this year).

 @9334NKVanswered…2yrs2Y

Only if the is no chance of recovery and they are not forces or coerced into taking that decision.

 @8PLZRX5answered…3yrs3Y

 @96FVK5Janswered…1yr1Y

No, unless they have are in extreme pain, have seen multiple therapists, and fully understand the choice
