Yes. I hate this though. Imagine being unwell... and your Dr or nurse bringing this up. I'd want them... well, not any where near me. Ever.

 @BCBDZC5answered…2mos2MO

Yes... but I hate this. Imagine being in this situation and having a nurse keep "reminding you" you have this option?! People who believe they're "caring"... encouraging your death. Icky.

I voted for the end of life bill. I acknowledged the slippery slope argument, but thought we had enough checks and balances for it not to be an issue. Now, with Seymour's railing against the disabled I am not so sure. It could set a dangerous precedent.

 @B8Q2VBZanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only if there is no chance they would survive the illness in question and they take a psychological examination to prove they are completely aware of their choice.

 @9QRBWWNfrom Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but need to have a psychological evaluation, need to be terminally ill and/or an incredible amount of pain

 @9PGT4F2answered…2yrs2Y

You have the choice your body if you want to end your life for any reasons your choice no government or people can or should be able to prevent your choice

 @9P7VS9Tanswered…2yrs2Y

I think they should be getting proper help because with proper help they wouldnt feel like this was their only way out, and if without proper help they still feel the same way with a psychological evaluation they should be allowed.

Only if there is no chance they will survive their illness, after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice, should be allowed to refuse artificial life support
