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.

@5B9Q76L4yrs4Y
Yes, and allow euthanasia for the mentally disabled
@8C4WVSD4yrs4Y
Yes but only if doctors also consent to procedure.
@8RM8M9F4yrs4Y
No, but regular suicide is fine.
@B23CRQ31wk1W
I do not believe in terminal illness, all illnesses have the capacity to be cured through natural medicine, we need to fund research into making universal cures for all illnesses.
@9ZYVF3M2wks2W
They should be informed of the full extent of their disease, including survival rates and should be denied if survival rates are over 25%, then they should be given a psychological examination before processing their request. If the chance of survival is over 25% they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support
@9ZPG98N4wks4W
Doctors should have the right to opt-out of administering assisted suicide if it conflicts with their beliefs.
@9YKZ624 1mo1MO
Yes, but only after a psychological examination or in the case of terminal illness degrading remaining life quality
@9YDW8XR1mo1MO
Yes, but it should never be an option suggested by doctors or hospital staff. It has to be their own choice/initiative and if they have no chance of survival/if they will otherwise have a painful death.
