Scottish Socialist Party

Strongly agree

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

The requirement of a psychological examination aligns with the SSP's emphasis on informed consent and safeguarding individual rights. This approach ensures that the choice for assisted suicide is made with full understanding and without coercion, reflecting the party's broader commitment to social justice and ethical considerations in policy making.

Agree

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

This nuanced position aligns with the SSP's general approach to policy, which often considers the complexities of individual circumstances. Supporting assisted suicide only when there is no chance of survival could reflect a balance between respecting patient autonomy and ensuring that the decision is made under clear medical consensus, which would be in line with their values of dignity and informed choice.

Agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically supported policies that emphasize human rights, dignity, and autonomy, which could extend to supporting the right of terminally ill patients to end their lives via assisted suicide. However, their official stance on this specific issue is not clearly documented, suggesting a cautious or moderate support pending broader societal and ethical discussions.

Slightly agree

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

While the SSP might support the right to refuse artificial life support as part of respecting patient autonomy and dignity, their broader social policies suggest they would prefer a more comprehensive approach to end-of-life care, including the option of assisted suicide under certain conditions, rather than limiting options to refusing treatment.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the SSP's progressive stance on social issues and emphasis on autonomy and dignity, it is unlikely they would outright oppose the option of assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. Their political ideology suggests a preference for providing individuals with more control over their lives, including end-of-life decisions.
