Strongly agree

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

This answer is likely the closest to the social democratic position, as it supports the right to assisted suicide but adds a safeguard in the form of a psychological examination. This ensures that the decision is voluntary and well-informed, which aligns with the social democratic emphasis on individual autonomy and the right to die with dignity.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the social democratic emphasis on individual autonomy and the right to die with dignity, but it adds a condition that there must be no chance of survival. Some social democrats may agree with this condition, while others may argue that it is too restrictive and that the decision should be left to the individual and their medical team.

Slightly agree

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

While social democrats may support the right to refuse artificial life support, this answer does not fully address the issue of assisted suicide. Some social democrats may see this as a compromise position, but it does not fully align with the emphasis on individual autonomy and the right to die with dignity.
