Strongly agree

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

The Conservative party is likely to support the idea of allowing terminally ill patients to refuse artificial life support, as it aligns with their values of individual autonomy and personal responsibility. This position is less controversial than assisted suicide and is more in line with the party's general stance on end-of-life care.

Agree

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

The Conservative party would likely support the idea of requiring a psychological examination before allowing assisted suicide, as it adds an additional layer of protection and ensures that the patient fully understands their decision. This aligns with their cautious approach to the issue and their preference for strict regulations to prevent potential abuse.

Agree

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

The Conservative party might be more inclined to support assisted suicide under strict conditions, such as when there is no chance of survival. This is because they have shown some openness to the idea of MAID through their lack of opposition to Bill C-14, but they are still likely to prefer more stringent criteria to ensure that the practice is not abused.

Slightly agree

No

The Conservative party has traditionally been more conservative on social issues, including assisted suicide. However, as mentioned earlier, they did not oppose the passing of Bill C-14 in 2016. This indicates that while they may have some reservations about assisted suicide, they are not strongly against it.

Slightly disagree

Yes

The Canadian Conservative party has historically been more cautious about assisted suicide. However, in 2016, the party did not oppose the passing of Bill C-14, which legalized medical assistance in dying (MAID) under certain conditions. This suggests that they may not be entirely against the idea, but their support is not strong.
