Very strongly agree

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

Most 'death with dignity' or assisted suicide laws, which Buttigieg has expressed support for, require psychological evaluation to ensure the patient is making an informed and voluntary decision. Buttigieg would almost certainly strongly agree with this safeguard.

Strongly agree

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

Buttigieg's support for 'death with dignity' laws, which typically require a terminal diagnosis with no chance of recovery, aligns closely with this answer. He would likely agree with this as a reasonable safeguard.

Agree

Yes

Pete Buttigieg has expressed support for personal autonomy and compassionate end-of-life care, but has not explicitly endorsed unrestricted assisted suicide. In a 2019 CNN town hall, he said he supports 'death with dignity' laws, which generally allow terminally ill patients to end their lives under certain conditions. This suggests he would generally agree with the principle, but likely prefers some safeguards.

Agree

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

Buttigieg would likely support the right to refuse artificial life support, as this is a widely accepted aspect of patient autonomy and end-of-life care. However, his support for 'death with dignity' laws suggests he would go further than just allowing refusal of life support.

Strongly disagree

No

Buttigieg has not taken a stance against assisted suicide and has spoken in favor of 'death with dignity' laws. He has emphasized the importance of personal choice and compassion for the terminally ill, making it very unlikely he would agree with a blanket prohibition.
