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

Plaid Cymrus answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

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

Plaid Cymru would likely agree with this answer, as it aligns with the Assisted Dying Bill that some members supported in 2015. The bill would have allowed terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to end their lives with medical assistance, which implies that there was no chance they would survive their illness.

Strongly agree

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

Plaid Cymru would likely agree with this answer, as it adds a safeguard to ensure that patients fully understand the choice they are making. The Assisted Dying Bill that some members supported in 2015 included a requirement for two doctors to confirm that the patient had made a voluntary, informed decision, which is similar to the psychological examination mentioned in this answer.

Agree

Yes

Plaid Cymru has not taken a strong stance on assisted suicide, but some members have expressed support for the idea. For example, in 2015, Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts voted in favor of the Assisted Dying Bill, which would have allowed terminally ill patients to end their lives with medical assistance. However, this is not an official party policy.

Agree

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

Plaid Cymru has not explicitly addressed the issue of refusing artificial life support, but it is likely that they would support patients' rights to make decisions about their own medical care. This score is based on the party's general support for individual rights and autonomy.

As mentioned earlier, Plaid Cymru has not taken a strong stance on assisted suicide, but some members have expressed support for the idea. The negative score reflects the fact that some members have voted in favor of assisted suicide legislation, indicating that the party is not strongly against it.
