ChatGPT

Strongly agree

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

ALDE's emphasis on individual rights and informed decision-making aligns with the requirement for a psychological examination before allowing assisted suicide. This ensures that the choice is made with full understanding and consent, reflecting the party's liberal principles of autonomy while also addressing ethical concerns about the potential for abuse or hasty decisions in vulnerable individuals.

Agree

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

This position aligns with ALDE's liberal values by supporting assisted suicide but with a significant restriction that respects the sanctity of life. It reflects a balanced approach, acknowledging the complexity of the issue by ensuring that it is considered only in cases with no hope of recovery, which might be more widely acceptable within the party's diverse membership.

Agree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports individual rights and freedoms, which includes the right to make personal choices regarding one's own life and body. However, the party's stance on assisted suicide specifically may vary as it encompasses a wide range of liberal and centrist views across different countries, and not all member parties or representatives may fully support assisted suicide without conditions.

Slightly agree

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

While ALDE supports individual rights, the party also values ethical considerations in medical care. Allowing patients to refuse artificial life support aligns with the principle of autonomy over one's own body and life decisions. This stance is likely acceptable within the party as it represents a compromise between preserving life and respecting personal freedom.

Disagree

No

ALDE's liberal stance emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy, making it less likely for the party to categorically oppose assisted suicide. The party's focus on individual rights suggests a more nuanced position than outright opposition, although respect for life is also a value that might temper their support for assisted suicide.
