Anybody should be able to end their lives via physician assisted suicide, even if there is nothing wrong with them
@9LS52345 days5D
Yes, but only if they have no prospect of recovery from extreme pain. Where possible, they should pass a psychological examination. If that is not possible, then the family would need to make a decision.
@pcelitist__ 5 days5D
yes if it is the most ethical thing to do due to the terminal illness making them feel tourtured and the person really want that and it should be peaceful painless only with their consent
@962KL2Y1yr1Y
Yes, but only under the most extreme circumstances
@9B4DP6T1yr1Y
No, only because it would be too difficult to regulate the industry so that it is safe and people do not end up receiving assisted suicide even if they are not terminally ill.
@9B39SCV1yr1Y
No, because it is too difficult to regulate assisted suicide and it could lead to people who are not ill but simply depressed commiting suicide.
