Very strongly agree

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

The New Zealand Labour Party strongly agrees with this answer, as the End of Life Choice Act 2019, which they supported, includes a requirement for a psychological examination to ensure the patient fully understands their choice. This is one of the safeguards in place to ensure the patient's decision is informed and voluntary.
