Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?

Solamente a aquellos que tengan muy malas posibilidades de supervivencia. Además, hay que aumentar la inversión en cuidados paliativos del dolor.

Si, pero solamente para aquellos casos muy graves

How might your personal values or beliefs influence your stance on whether individuals should have autonomy over their own life and death?

What are your thoughts on the balance between the sanctity of life and alleviating unbearable suffering when no cure is available?

How might cultural or religious backgrounds shape one's opinion on whether assisted suicide should be a personal choice?

Do you think that pain and the right to avoid it should factor into the legalization of assisted death for terminally ill patients?

If you were to put yourself in the shoes of someone with a terminal illness, how might your perspective on assisted suicide change?

What are the potential societal implications of legalizing assisted suicide for those who are terminally ill?

No only for extreme situations

If life is only causing a patient pain, then the decision for them to end their life is morally okay.

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness, and only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice. I personally disagree with euthanasia, but it should remain a personal choice.

No, but they should not be prevented from ending their own lives without assistance

only if they are in pain on a daily basis

No, I think instead they should be helped any way they can and prevent suicides if possible.

Yes, but only if there is zero chance of recovery, and they are found to be in a sound psychological state following an examination

This is more of a state choice.

They can't survive and had a psychological workup.

Only in cases where the patient is facing an imminent painful death.

no, life is precious even when terminally ill

Yes, and extent this right to non-ill individuals

While it is inhumane, it is more inhumane to let someone suffer in the hellish abyss that is terminal mental illness, if there is a chance they can be saved, then we should try for a certain amount of time, the amount of time depends on the illness, but if it's impossible, then don't let them suffer.

They should in theory, but right now we don't have the resources to morally do this, some people end up having to go earlier than they wanted because they may no be able to give consent at the time that they intended to die.

Yes, assisted suicide should be allowed in general.

Yes, but only if the medical professional also consents to performing the procedure.

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness or they are in extreme pain.

This is something I don't feel comfortable having a strong opinion on.

Only if they don't want to be on life support or are brain dead.

yes but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness and after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

This is only up to the person, and should not be a political issue.

Yes, but only if they go through a psychological examination to show they fully understand the choice.

Not assisted, if they want to do it themselves, up to them. Leave some cleanup money behind.

Even though I disagree with it, allow them to do it if there are no other options

yes but as long as it is completely their choice and no one is indirectly forcing them

I say yes if that’s what they really wish and how they went to leave the world. It just depends on the person.

Yes, but only for terminal illnesses

Yes but only in cases where survival is impossible and life is unbearable.

Yes as long as their family is ok with it.

family has to be involved in decision

uh i dont really know

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive and show full understanding of their choice.

How would you feel if you had the power to end a loved one's suffering through a decision, knowing their condition is irreversible?

What do you think about the idea of having the right to choose how one's life ends, especially in cases of extreme, untreatable pain?
