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?

The moment the state decides if your life is valuable enough or not is the moment we are talking about fascism. It is that simple.

And yes, I'm all for assisted death. But the keyword is assisted. And if you yourself cannot decide if you want to be assisted it just can't happen.

A politician can not decide for you if you deserve to live or not. A life canot be valued. And that was what was implied.
