Anybody should be able to end their lives via physician assisted suicide, even if there is nothing wrong with them

 @9KX9PLYanswered…2wks2W

Yes, but only if they fully understand the choice and that their quality of life is severely compromised

 @9K5C27MConservativeanswered…1mo1MO

Only if it causes them more harm to be alive then to have a swift assisted suicide would be more humane.

 @9K3Y6DBanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only if their quality of life is significantly reduced and the people closest in their lives are made aware

 @9JZ42CVanswered…1mo1MO

Only after psychological examination and after it is proven their is no chance they will survive their illness

 @9C3RDZVanswered…10mos10MO

Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand their choice, and they’re guaranteed to pass from it

 @9BSRZH8answered…11mos11MO

yes but after assessment and consensus from doctors about pain levels or possible recovery

 @9BNHTZFanswered…11mos11MO

 @9B4DP6Tanswered…12mos12MO

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.

 @9B39SCVanswered…1yr1Y

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.

 @99ZRN34answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but there needs to be safeguards in place to protect people who are vulnerable from imposing it upon them.

 @99QYDG8answered…1yr1Y

Yes after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice, and are suffering

 @95KK3SJanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if it can be confidently determined to be their choice and not the decision of those who may benefit from their death.

 @955SD9Ganswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, it shouldn’t be illegal to assist someone to commit a legal act. Proper documentation to be in place

 @9543SDFanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes. Anyone should be allowed to end their life at the point they choose to, especially if terminally ill.

 @94VDK83answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that it’s not the government’s choice and should be given to the people to decide

 @94KTJLGanswered…2yrs2Y

Only if the patient chooses to do so and their is less than a 50% chance of survival.

 @94GSXM4answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if they are in extreme pain and pass a psychological examination

 @9HKYM3Janswered…4mos4MO

Not legally, but each death should be investigated and if the Coroner is satisfied that no pressure was put on the patient then no charges should be brought.

 @9HCWXSSanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only for those who're terminally ill, blind, paralyzed, in chronic pain or in any combination

 @9H47YKGanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only after heavy psychological examination to show they fully understand their choice with very strict guidelines.

 @9GWVC4Qanswered…5mos5MO

Yes - if they prove they, and their families fully understand this choice and there is no chance of survival

 @9FGBVK4answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but at a particular no point of return of their illness, and only after checking that the individual fully understands the choice

 @9D5XVPDanswered…8mos8MO

If you have evidence such as video footage to prove that the sick patient has approved on the assistance.

 @9D355DLanswered…8mos8MO

Yes, but only for terminal illness, blindness, paralysis or incurable chronic pain. An assisted suicide service should have specialists who partake in assisting suicide. Relatives and love ones should not carry the burden or guilt of assisting suicide

 @9CZWYZWLabouranswered…8mos8MO

Yes, if there is no chance that they will survice their illness, and if psychological examination shows that they full understand this choice.

 @9CXF6S8answered…8mos8MO

Yes, but a period of time should be given to allow patients to change their mind

 @9CFG77Fanswered…10mos10MO

Sadly, evidence is showing that this process is readily abused. In theory I am in favour, but the practice has not borne that out.

 @9C4Q7BXanswered…10mos10MO

 @9C3SC2QLabouranswered…10mos10MO

Yes, provided they are well enough to take the poison themselves and are under no pressure to kill themselves by family etc

 @99HKY6Lanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, and the decision must lie with the patient and not with the healthcare provider

 @99GQMB5answered…1yr1Y

Yes, anyone should be allowed to end their life via assisted suicide

 @98QG4NGanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only via euthanasia in a comfortable environment if they are terminal, and psychologically analysed first.

 @98JS6B4answered…1yr1Y

it depends on whether this is what the person wants. i disagree with people with illnesses that want to make the most of the time they have left being encouraged into a death sooner than they were meant to be.

 @97LL6ZQLiberal Democratanswered…1yr1Y

Bodily autonomy extends to the right to terminate one's own life, however no individual should be forced to assist nor should any individual be punished for rendering aid to someone contemplating suicide.

 @96YDX2Tanswered…1yr1Y

 @96QM52Wanswered…1yr1Y

Absolutly yes, for Several reasons. The cost to prolong someone's life when they don't want to be here any more. The pain and suffering for the patient as well as the family with things such as MND, Early Onset Alzheimer's, Terminal Cancer. I think that some of the issues in Health care would be rectified if people who have a terminal illness can chose to end their life. Rather than spend months/years with some form of end of life care that can drag out in a painful and cruel way. It's costly to the NHS/Families and it's heartbreaking to see people suffer at the end when they could have chosen to die peacefully, with saying by to loved ones, prior to getting too ill that they have no life anymore anyway.

 @96JM2GFanswered…1yr1Y

Someone's mortality should fall fully in their own hands, even those of a healthy body but suffering mind.

 @96J77TRGreenanswered…1yr1Y

Yes there should be some testing or a prior agreement out in place which outline in what circumstances they would want to end their life in case they lose capacity etc
