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
@9PFJJ5D5mos5MO
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 5mos5MO
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
@9QFNMXY 5mos5MO
Yes, but only after a period of time. They should be assessed before waiting weeks/months in case they suddenly regret their decision or there is any improvement in their condition. People who are indisputably terminal should have a reduced time period, or it is nullified entirely depending on circumstance. People unable to communicate for themselves should not be considered for this, as they may be pressured by their family.
@9QD8P3K5mos5MO
If it was possible to walk alongside these patients to achieve their best lifestyle and strengthen them in so many ways and ultimately have the grace to accept hopefully an intelligent and well-thought out life decision.
@9QD8HY65mos5MO
Yes as long as it can be proved they’ve not done this under duress and a professional is sure there’s definitely no cure
@9Q9VXQQ5mos5MO
I feel euthanasia should be legal in UK but only in terminal cases with patients and multiple medical staff recommendation/ agreement that its in patients best interest.
