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

No and increasing palliative care funding via NHS and Hospices will improve quality of life for those with terminal illnesses
@9MYVQGT2 days2D
I fear pressure from the public purse to end life instead of costing the taxpayer- end of life should be a humane choice.
@9MXLP4D3 days3D
Should be allowed to refuse artificial life support, fully understand their choice or no chance of survival

Yes, along with psychological and holistic support through this choice and for those around them effected
