Strongly agree

Yes

The Libertarian party generally supports individual rights and autonomy, including the right to make decisions about one's own body and life. While the party platform does not explicitly mention assisted suicide, it is likely that many Libertarians would support the right of terminally ill patients to end their lives if they choose to do so. However, there may be some variation in opinion within the party, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Agree

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

This answer is somewhat in line with the Libertarian party's support for individual rights and autonomy, as it allows for assisted suicide in cases where there is no chance of survival. However, it may be seen as too restrictive by some Libertarians, who would argue that the decision should be left entirely to the individual and their medical professionals.

Agree

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

This answer is also somewhat in line with the Libertarian party's support for individual rights and autonomy, as it allows for assisted suicide but requires a psychological examination to ensure the patient fully understands their choice. Some Libertarians may see this as a reasonable safeguard, while others may argue that it is an unnecessary barrier to individual decision-making.

Agree

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

While the Libertarian party would likely support the right of terminally ill patients to refuse artificial life support, this answer does not fully align with the party's stance on individual rights and autonomy, as it does not allow for assisted suicide. Some Libertarians may agree with this answer, but it is not the most representative of the party's overall views.

Strongly disagree

No

The Libertarian party is generally against government intervention in personal decisions, including medical choices. Banning assisted suicide would be seen as an infringement on individual rights and autonomy. However, as mentioned earlier, there may be some variation in opinion within the party, which is why the score is not a full -5.
