Very strongly agree
Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice
This answer aligns closely with the Canadian Liberal Party's position on assisted suicide. Bill C-14, which they passed in 2016, includes safeguards such as requiring two independent medical practitioners to assess the patient's eligibility and ensuring that the patient has given informed consent. A psychological examination to ensure the patient fully understands their choice is in line with the party's emphasis on safeguards and informed decision-making.

The Canadian Liberal Party has historically supported assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. In 2016, the Liberal government passed Bill C-14, which legalized medical assistance in dying (MAID) for eligible Canadians. However, the legislation includes certain criteria and safeguards, so the party may not fully agree with a blanket 'yes' without any conditions.

Agree
Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness
The Canadian Liberal Party's support for assisted suicide is evident in their passage of Bill C-14. However, the legislation includes specific criteria for eligibility, such as having a grievous and irremediable medical condition and being in an advanced state of irreversible decline. This answer aligns with the party's stance on assisted suicide, but it may not fully capture the nuances of their position.

Disagree
No, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support
While the Canadian Liberal Party would likely agree that terminally ill patients should be allowed to refuse artificial life support, this answer does not encompass their support for assisted suicide. The passage of Bill C-14 demonstrates their commitment to providing eligible Canadians with the option of medical assistance in dying, which goes beyond simply refusing life support.
