Anybody should be able to end their lives via physician assisted suicide, even if there is nothing wrong with them
@9C3RDZV11mos11MO
Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand their choice, and they’re guaranteed to pass from it
@9BSRZH812mos12MO
yes but after assessment and consensus from doctors about pain levels or possible recovery
@9BNHTZF12mos12MO
only where the quality of social care does not affect decisions
@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.
