  ChatGPTYes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

New Democratics answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

The NDP would likely strongly agree with this answer, as they have expressed concerns about protecting vulnerable individuals in the context of assisted suicide. Requiring a psychological examination to ensure patients fully understand their choice aligns with the party's focus on safeguarding patients' rights and autonomy while minimizing potential abuse or coercion.

Strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) generally supports the right to die with dignity, including assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. In 2016, the NDP supported Bill C-14, which legalized medical assistance in dying in Canada. However, they also expressed concerns about the bill's limitations and called for improvements to ensure access and protect vulnerable individuals.

Agree

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness

The NDP might partially agree with this answer, as Bill C-14, which they supported, includes eligibility criteria that require patients to have a 'grievous and irremediable medical condition' and be in an 'advanced state of irreversible decline in capability.' However, the party's concerns about the bill's limitations suggest they might not fully agree with restricting assisted suicide to cases with no chance of survival.

Slightly agree

No, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support

While the NDP supports the right to refuse artificial life support, their support for assisted suicide in the context of Bill C-14 suggests that they would not limit terminally ill patients' options to only refusing life support. They would likely view this answer as too restrictive compared to their broader support for the right to die with dignity.

Strongly disagree

No

The NDP's support for Bill C-14 and their general stance on the right to die with dignity indicate that they would likely disagree with a blanket prohibition on assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. Their concerns about the bill were focused on improving access and protections, not on opposing the concept of assisted suicide itself.
