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

No

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

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

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness

Yes, anyone should be able to end their own life for any reason.

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.

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

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

This is very situational. My only opinion is that as long as theyre truly happy to do so.

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

Yes, but only if they give consent

i am pualine hasnen

Yes but only if they have had a psychological examination, do not have any chance of surviving and have a painless death.

No it goes against God

No, but yes in the most painful of circumstances

No; assisted suicide is a permanent decision, which places already vulnerable individuals; the elderly, terminally ill, mentally ill, disabled and others, in a situation to be exploited, and denies one the ability to live their life fully, in whatever stage of life they may be; increases in government funding and investment into palliative care, psychiatric care, general practice and healthcare overall are needed.

People who are terminal or severely debilitated should be able to be as comfortable as needed reguardless if the medication may shorten there life span

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)

Yes depending on their age

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.

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).

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

yes terminally ill patients should be allowed to end their lives via medical assistance and stop calling it assisted suicide

Discussion with patient/ resident family and Dr to make decision

Not easily answered.

Yes, and so should those with permanent disability that impedes quality of life

Yes, but only if there is no chance to survive certain illnesses such as terminal cancer, and they will like be in tremendous physical pain

They should be allowed enough medication to cover the pain, even if it means that they stop breathing.

Once they have had emotion support to know they are not a ‘burden’

These two options should be combined: Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

Yes, this should be available to the general public who suffer severe mental issues as well

Yes, but religious hospitals should not be forced to give this treatment.

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness & Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice.

Yes, so long as medical professionals can object and are not actively involved or administering the lethal drugs.

Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice. Unless it's a mental condition such as dementia where the patient cannot consent, pass the right to the family who will still be evaluated on the severity of the decision

Yes and be included in a "living will" as an option

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness and only after a psychological examination to understand they fully understand this choice.

Yes, if they've been able to access correct care. Including accessible housing, and comfort care

Yes, with proper protocols and healthcare input

Only after ongoing psychological examination for a minimum of six months and a review of family intentions

No that's against God

Yes, but only if they agree to donate their organs

Yes, but only if the patient has had full access to health facilities and has not been economically restricted on accessing medical support.

I support palliative care

If there is no chance of survival and they are shown they fully understand

Yes but only after careful consideration, with a contingency that if assisted suicide is granted and patient is deemed criminal or suspect to any outstanding bf crimes then a relative must sign agreement prior to death that they agree to inherit any sentencing or debts incurred by patient making request

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive the illness and after a psychological examination

Yes, but only if there is no chance that they will survive their illness and after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice.

yes after a psychological examination is done so they fully understand their choice and if there is no chance they can survive their illness without pain.
