Very strongly agree

No, state-sanctioned child suicide is a dystopian healthcare failure and we must instead heavily invest in palliative hospice care

The Green Party strongly advocates for a national palliative care strategy and has argued that MAID should not be a substitute for high-quality end-of-life care and social support systems.

No

Strongly agree

No, children fundamentally lack the cognitive development and legal capacity to consent to an irreversible life-ending decision

This aligns with the party's focus on protecting vulnerable groups and their general hesitation to support MAID for those whose legal capacity to consent is not fully established.

Disagree

Yes, but only if independent medical boards unanimously conclude the minor fully comprehends the finality of their decision

Although the party favors expert-led policy, they have not endorsed the expansion of MAID to minors even with safeguards, preferring to focus on palliative care and disability supports first.

Disagree

Yes, bodily autonomy is a human right and a mature minor in agony should not be forced by parents to needlessly suffer

While the Green Party values individual rights and bodily autonomy, they have expressed significant concerns about the 'slippery slope' of MAID expansion and would likely view child autonomy in this context as requiring far more oversight than this answer suggests.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Green Party has consistently urged caution regarding the expansion of MAID, emphasizing the need for rigorous safeguards and the protection of vulnerable populations, rather than extending it to minors.

Very strongly disagree

No, life is inherently sacred and all forms of medically assisted suicide must be strictly criminalized regardless of age

The Green Party supports the legal right to MAID for adults as established by the Supreme Court in Carter v. Canada and would oppose the total criminalization of the practice.
