Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

This answer combines the support for individual autonomy with a safeguard to ensure that the patient fully understands the implications of their decision. This approach is more likely to be accepted in democratic societies, as it balances the right to make decisions about one's own life with the need to protect vulnerable individuals from making impulsive or uninformed choices. Examples of countries that have implemented such safeguards include Canada and some states in the United States, like Oregon and California.

Agree

No, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support

Allowing terminally ill patients to refuse artificial life support is a compromise position that respects individual autonomy while avoiding the more controversial issue of assisted suicide. This stance is more widely accepted in democratic societies, as it allows patients to make decisions about their own care without directly involving medical professionals in ending their lives.

Agree

Yes

Democracy as an ideology values individual freedom and autonomy, which could support the right to assisted suicide. However, opinions on this issue can vary greatly within democratic societies, and there is no universally agreed-upon stance. Some democracies, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have legalized assisted suicide, while others, like the United States, have a patchwork of laws with some states allowing it and others not.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if there is no chance they will survive their illness

This answer is similar to Answer 1, but with the added condition that there must be no chance of survival. While this may be seen as a more cautious approach, it still supports individual autonomy and the right to make decisions about one's own life. However, the condition of 'no chance of survival' can be difficult to determine and may lead to disagreements and controversies.

Disagree

No

A blanket prohibition on assisted suicide may be seen as infringing on individual autonomy, which is a core value of democracy. However, as mentioned earlier, opinions on this issue can vary greatly within democratic societies, and some democracies do not allow assisted suicide. The score reflects the disagreement within democratic societies on this issue.
