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

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?

Also its better to let a person die peacefully than having them die in gruesome ways

you know what would be even better? Creating a society where millions of people aren't suffering to the point where they see no other option in the first place.
