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.

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.

@8VRC8Z24yrs4Y
Yes, but only is they asked it them self without any couching from anyone
@8VQDNBNConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there is no chance of survival or living a pain free life
@8THYJHNConservative4yrs4Y
It is the patient's personal choice and they should make it freely without an pressure from family or friends.
@8T3T55PConservative4yrs4Y
No I wish for it to be illegal because legalizing it would force doctors to violate their Hippocratic oaths and I wouldn’t want doctors to be forced violate their own morals if they don’t want to kill someone. People can just kill them selves illegally. They shouldn’t be forced to be on life support though.
@8NW4G8WConservative4yrs4Y
Yes. Absolutely yes and remove the stipulation that the patient must consent twice and be of sound mind both times. One time consent and of sound mind is all that is needed
@8CRK4YSConservative5yrs5Y
A joint decision between family, doctors and the patients
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, if there is no chance of survival or after a thorough psychological examination to show they fully understand their choice
