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.

Strongly agree

Yes

The New Zealand Labour Party has shown support for assisted suicide, as evidenced by the End of Life Choice Act 2019, which was passed under the Labour-led government. However, the Act includes specific conditions and safeguards, so the party may not fully agree with a blanket 'yes' without any conditions.

Agree

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

The Labour Party's support for the End of Life Choice Act 2019 indicates that they agree with allowing assisted suicide for terminally ill patients with no chance of survival. However, the Act also includes other conditions and safeguards, so this answer may not fully represent their stance on the issue.

Agree

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

While the Labour Party supports the right to refuse artificial life support, as evidenced by their support for the End of Life Choice Act 2019, they also support assisted suicide under specific conditions. Therefore, they would likely only partially agree with this answer, as it does not encompass their full stance on the issue.
