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, any person should have the right to choose for themselves with the counsel of a medical and mental health professional.
@8V65YG34yrs4Y
Follow the same procedures as Netherlands. Patient is terminal, suffering and at the end of life. They and a family member sign off. Put in a coma and the body gives up and dies.
@8TS3L964yrs4Y
Yes but we need to also ensure that if they are only making that choice due to the enforced poverty of inadequate disability supports that thwt be addressed first
@8PK8YRR4yrs4Y
Yes but only if they won’t survive their illness and completely a psychological evaluation
@8PDQ35D4yrs4Y
Yes, and extend the option to any competent adult and any terminally ill child
@8KL8NGV4yrs4Y
Yes anyone should be allowed to end their life if they so choose.
@8GNKVNH5yrs5Y
No, not until we end the discrimination in the medical system and we can end the deeply rooted racism and misogyny.
@9BJ887SNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if their illness causes them physical pain that wouldn’t be worth going through.
@8H2G98J4yrs4Y
This is something I don't feel comfortable having a strong opinion on.
@8DP6P7F5yrs5Y
They should in theory, but right now we don't have the resources to morally do this, some people end up having to go earlier than they wanted because they may no be able to give consent at the time that they intended to die.
@842VWLK3yrs3Y
no, life is precious even when terminally ill
