Currently, assisted suicide (Euthanasia) is illegal in all countries of the United Kingdom. However, as a devolved matter to the Scottish parliament, it is possible that at some point in the future different laws on euthanasia could apply within the UK.

Anybody should be able to end their lives via physician assisted suicide, even if there is nothing wrong with them
@B2WS4VN 3wks3W
Yes, of course they should have that right. We don't allow our sick animals to suffer. If someone is terminal and in immense pain and anguish then they should have the right to request euthanasia.
@9PFJJ5D9mos9MO
Yes as long as there is a system in place so it can’t be misused (by doctors to save spaces for instance). The vulnerable patient should be protected.
@9PJM4GK 9mos9MO
Yes, but the rights of disabled people must be sacrosanct to ensure they are not pressured or obligated in any way.
@8Q84WDJ4yrs4Y
Yes, if an extensive psychological assessment identifies capacity to make the decision and raises an issue regarding the person's quality of life
@B3H865Q5 days5D
Yes as long as they can pass a test to show they understand the choice, then anybody should be allowed to die if they want to.
@9Q6VWMS8mos8MO
I think there should be a balanced approach of psychological intervention and right to choose if diagnosed with a terminal illness to die in a way that person chooses.
@8VQLFZB3yrs3Y
No, bureaucracy and mistakes will cause people who should not be allowed assisted suicide to undergo the process.
