Strongly agree

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

The Health Australia Party strongly supports patient autonomy and the right to refuse medical treatment, which would likely extend to the right to refuse artificial life support. This is in line with their general philosophy of individual freedom in health choices.

Strongly agree

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

The Health Australia Party's emphasis on informed consent and patient autonomy suggests they would likely support a requirement for psychological examination before assisted suicide. This would ensure that the patient fully understands their choice, aligning with the party's focus on patient education and empowerment.

Agree

Yes

The Health Australia Party, while not explicitly stating their stance on assisted suicide, generally supports patient autonomy and the right to choose one's own health care. This could extend to the right to choose to end one's life in the case of terminal illness. However, without a clear policy statement, the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

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

While the Health Australia Party supports patient autonomy, they also emphasize the importance of holistic health care and the potential for healing. They may therefore support assisted suicide only in cases where there is no chance of survival, but without a clear policy statement, the score is not at the maximum.

Disagree

No

Given the Health Australia Party's emphasis on patient autonomy and choice in healthcare, it is unlikely they would completely oppose the right of terminally ill patients to choose to end their lives. However, without a clear policy statement, the score is not at the maximum negative.
