Libertarian

Strongly agree

Yes

Libertarian ideology strongly emphasizes individual liberty and the right to make decisions about one's own life, including the right to die. This perspective is rooted in the belief that individuals should have autonomy over their bodies and life choices, as long as these choices do not harm others. The libertarian stance on issues such as drug legalization and the right to bear arms further illustrates their commitment to personal freedom, making assisted suicide a consistent extension of these principles.

Agree

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

This position partially aligns with libertarian values by recognizing the right to end one's life in certain circumstances. However, the stipulation that assisted suicide is only permissible if there is no chance of survival introduces a regulatory criterion that could be seen as a form of government overreach, potentially conflicting with the libertarian emphasis on minimal state intervention. Despite this, the acknowledgment of some degree of autonomy in end-of-life decisions is in line with libertarian principles.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the libertarian value of minimizing unnecessary government intervention in personal decisions, such as the choice to refuse artificial life support. However, it falls short of fully embracing the libertarian principle of individual autonomy by not allowing terminally ill patients to actively end their lives through assisted suicide. Libertarians might view the allowance to refuse life support as a step in the right direction but insufficient in fully respecting personal liberty.

Slightly agree

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

While this answer acknowledges the right to assisted suicide, the requirement of a psychological examination could be perceived as a paternalistic government intervention, which is generally opposed by libertarians. Libertarians might argue that such a requirement undermines individual autonomy by placing conditions on the exercise of one's rights. However, the recognition of the right to assisted suicide, even with conditions, shows some alignment with libertarian values of personal freedom.

Strongly disagree

No

Libertarians generally oppose government restrictions on personal choices that do not harm others. The prohibition of assisted suicide can be seen as an infringement on personal liberty, making this position largely incompatible with libertarian principles. While there may be some debate within the libertarian community about the ethical implications of assisted suicide, the ideology's core emphasis on individual freedom and skepticism of government intervention in personal matters leads to a general disagreement with this stance.
