Should people have the right to decide if they want to die at their own will?

TW: Suicide! Do not proceed if this topic triggers you!

For example,

Becky has cancer and will suffer from it until she meets her demise. She decides that she no longer wants to live with this and takes her life.

I'm in no way saying someone who is severely depressed should commit something like suicide, but if the person is in their right mind and knows what they truly want, they should have the right to exit if they don't want to live this life.

Yes, absolutely.

No, never.

It really depends.

In there US there are states that allow patients with terminal illnesses to die with dignity. There is a special cocktail of meds that the patient takes and then they pass away. Had Florida had this law an elderly woman would not have had to take her terminally ill husband's life in a hospital. Now she is serving time. Very sad.

I understand the suffering terminally ill who want to end the suffering. But if not suffering, why hasten the death? People will die anyway, right?

But seriously, for the overwhelming number of suicides, it is a wrongheaded and permanent solution to what overwhelmingly turns out to be a temporary problem, even if a very acute and severe one:

Absolutely.

Switzerland has created the suicide pods so that humans can euthanize themselves. Love it. A perfect solution for actual survivors.

First psychiatric help, then psychiatric help with deciding whether it's worth it or not. People who value the person who wants to be euthanised should have a bit of a say in it, because it is also done at their expense. I think euthanasia should be more socially acceptable, but also handled with great amounts of professional help and care.

I don’t agree with jumping off a bridge because you’ve just gone through a break up or something silly like that. What I do support is if you’ve got an illness like cancer and can’t take the pain anymore or the medication side effects are so bad that you decide you’re better off ending it now.

I'd support assisted suicide for terminally ill patients who are in their right mind. It's cruel to make them suffer for someone else's benefit.

Yes i think it should be allowed to do so
