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
Yes but only if they are terminal and no longer have quality of life. Life insurance should not be denied in the case of medically assisted suicide.

It is the patient's personal choice and they should make it freely without an pressure from family or friends.

yes but only if they fully understand it and if they have no chance of surviving. it should not be permitted in cases of mental illness
Yes, and I think people should be able to create living wills to carry out their wishes, despite families intervention. Respect living wishes not to suffer, when that person is of sound mind to say “hey please don’t let me suffer and die, please pull the plug and let me go peacefully. Please don’t let me die in pain.” . No one wants to be in pain and suffering and crying out. Families are too scared to say they let them go. What’s another day of life if your not living, expected to go long and painfully. We need to be compassionate to those who are in pain and terminally ill. If it’s inevitable and expedited to save that persons dignity and soul, then we should allow it.
it should be their choice of what happens
Yes, but only if there is no choice they will survive their illness and only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice.
Yes but only after a psychological evaluation and if there's no chance they will survive their illness
