Would you be in favour of assisted dying being introduced for terminally ill patients in your country? (feddit.uk)

With the discussion of whether assisted dying should be allowed in Scotland befing brought up again, I was wondering what other people thought of the topic.

Do you think people should be allowed to choose when to end their own life?

What laws need to be put into place to prevent abuses in the system?

How do we account for people changing their mind or mental decline causing people to no longer be able to consent to a procedure they previously requested?

Yes. If a person can choose how to live their life, they should be able to choose how to end their life.

It's a matter that needs to be handled sensitively, but it is a right I feel everyone should have.
