I do not believe in terminal illness, all illnesses have the capacity to be cured through natural medicine, we need to fund research into making universal cures for all illnesses.

They should be informed of the full extent of their disease, including survival rates and should be denied if survival rates are over 25%, then they should be given a psychological examination before processing their request. If the chance of survival is over 25% they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support

Yes, but it should never be an option suggested by doctors or hospital staff. It has to be their own choice/initiative and if they have no chance of survival/if they will otherwise have a painful death.
