Assisted suicide, or euthanasia, is the practice of ending a life prematurely in order to end pain and suffering. Active euthanasia (intentionally killing a person to relieve pain) was legalized in February 2015 after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a woman who suffered from ALS.
@5B9Q76LNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, and allow euthanasia for the mentally disabled
@8RM8M9FRhinoceros3yrs3Y
No, but regular suicide is fine.
@8C4WVSD4yrs4Y
Yes but only if doctors also consent to procedure.
@9JWMJCZ 2mos2MO
They can deny artificial life support but they would have to go through a psychological assessment and they can choose if assisted suicide is an option for them or they can decide to choose a treatment if there is a cure for the disease by the lawful creed of the knight order.
@9J2MLD6New Democratic3mos3MO
Yes but provide free and easy alternatives for sick or disabled people so they don’t feel like they have to kill themselves since it’s otherwise too expensive
@9HW52K84mos4MO
No, they should be forced to suffer through whatever ailments they have until they die a natural death
@9HCP7QV5mos5MO
The government should not be in the business of killing citizens, except in the case of capital punishment.
@9GZYG4J5mos5MO
Yes, but for ethical reason only passive euthanasian should be allowed when provided via public or private healthcare provider, that being said if you are an individual that is 18+ you get to do whatever you want with your own personal life.
@9GP7SC5Conservative6mos6MO
If a patient is terminlly ill and won't survive, they should have the right to decide when they pass because there's no point in letting them suffer.
@9GGPJBW6mos6MO
This is a hard matter to talk about. I think the patient should have the right to decide themselves.
@9FWW5GB7mos7MO
only in very specific circumstances, mental health especially needs to be tested and verified as okay by as many professionals as possible
@9FJHRQW7mos7MO
i dont really understand the question, but suicide happens a lot its sad but a lot of people struggle in life and cant stay here. and prices going up and bills thats hard to pay, i have though about it too.
if they would like to the yes but the hospital cant tell them too
@9F98QST7mos7MO
Only if they understand their choice and there is no chance of survival
@9F8XJFZ7mos7MO
to me, it depends on the situation they are in
@9F5KMPV8mos8MO
It's their life and anyone should be able to choose when to die if they want. Killing yourself is valid. Living your life out is also valid. Terminally ill people shouldn't have to suffer a slow painful death if they don't want to. They're gonna die anyways might as well make it quick and painful if they want that.
@9DVZ2NF8mos8MO
Yes, but only if they are unable to to make a full recovery that would affect there life in a significant way.
@9DQSF448mos8MO
Yes, any person should have the right to choose for themselves with the counsel of a medical and mental health professional.
@9D4V5MC9mos9MO
Yes, but when weighed with quality of life issues only.
@9C656B311mos11MO
Evaluate a psychological check. Let the patient or family decide.
@9C63S7311mos11MO
Perform psychological examinations. And let the Patient or Family decide.
@9CQJF7L10mos10MO
No, better care to make their last days as comfortable as possible is best.
@9CNLPYN10mos10MO
Yes, but they need a psych assessment and have no chance of surviving.
@9BZXLCF11mos11MO
Yes with a relatives consent and they have no chance of survival
@9BZVR9Y11mos11MO
psych interview; no chance of survival; allowed to refuse artificial life support; recieve medication for pain and death anxiety.
@9BZ8XQ811mos11MO
Yes, if there are no chances of survival for an illness and there is a serious psychological examination whether the person is mentally competent of making the decision.
@9BXP6MQ12mos12MO
Yes only if their is no chance they will survive and a relative says its ok
@9BW2B2S12mos12MO
Yes, if they are adults and will not survive their sickness.
@9BSYMVY12mos12MO
No, ban assisted suicide
Yes, but only if their illness causes them physical pain that wouldn’t be worth going through.
@9BF2L8G1yr1Y
Yes but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness and after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice. Those suffering with mental illness are not eligible
@9B5DM8P1yr1Y
No. The government should not be given this power.
@99RSJ3M1yr1Y
this is already a thing and there is a huge market for suicide, so no
@925KVFM2yrs2Y
If the patient is mentally disabled then they shouldn't be able to because they do not have the mental function to make the decision.
@8ZSKRMYNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, if they pass both the psychological exam and will not survive their illness
@8ZCH4KQ2yrs2Y
It’s there choice to die sooner or live through the pain
@8X452LT2yrs2Y
I beleive that if someone is suffering so bad they want to die (not in a suicidal way) then they have the right to end their life, they deserve that choice
@8WZ4NMB2yrs2Y
No! humans should not choose when they die, it is not supposed to be their decision, leave it in God's hands
Yes, but only as a last resort, and after exhausting all options, and after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice
@8W6Q9G93yrs3Y
Brush, no. Just live until you died lol.
@8W4KBLY3yrs3Y
Yes, terminal means they're going to die no matter what. They're in pain. Put them out of they're misery.
@8VWXDZS3yrs3Y
So complicated to answer yes or no but should be case driven and need to understand the percentage chance that illness is not survivable, get psychological examination, fully understand choices, and allow to refuse articula life support and no resuscitation
@8VH22SV3yrs3Y
Yes but only if the individual and the immediate family feel it is right.
@8VCS27H3yrs3Y
They should be allowed to live as long as possible, and you should never assist in a death.
@8VBHV5D3yrs3Y
Yes, but doctors shouldn't be forced to perform the assisted death.
@8VBG3GV3yrs3Y
Yes, and it shouldn’t take as long as it currently does and take away the medical requirements of being absent from drugs to make the decision
@8V2N3DX3yrs3Y
yes, anyone should be allowed the right to commit suicide in a painless way, regardless of health
@8TXVXML3yrs3Y
No, if they end their own lives it should be unassisted. Or it isn't ending your own life.
@8TVFYWP3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the illness is in fact terminal and there is no doubt they have made an autonomous choice. I do not support Bill C-7.
