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.

Yes, but only after a psychological examination or in the case of terminal illness degrading remaining life quality
@9YDW8XR3wks3W

@9DQSF441yr1Y
Yes, any person should have the right to choose for themselves with the counsel of a medical and mental health professional.
