Very strongly agree

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

Slightly agree

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

Strongly disagree

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

While including safeguards, the Conservative Party generally rejects the premise of MAiD for minors entirely, focusing instead on life-affirming medical support.

Very strongly disagree

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

This perspective contradicts the Conservative emphasis on the legal incapacity of minors and the fundamental importance of parental guidance in medical and life-altering decisions.
