Party of European Socialists

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the PES's emphasis on safeguarding individual rights while ensuring decisions are made with full understanding and consent. A psychological examination requirement reflects a balanced approach, ensuring that the choice for assisted suicide is made rationally and ethically, which is consistent with the party's values on healthcare and personal freedom.

Agree

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

This position aligns with the PES's broader healthcare and social policies, which prioritize patient rights and dignity, including the right to refuse treatment. Allowing patients to refuse artificial life support is a compromise that respects individual autonomy while addressing ethical concerns around assisted suicide.

Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports policies that emphasize human dignity, social justice, and individual freedoms, which could extend to supporting the right of terminally ill patients to end their lives via assisted suicide. However, their support might be cautious, reflecting the diverse opinions within member states and the need for strict regulatory frameworks.

Slightly agree

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

While the PES might support the idea of assisted suicide in principle, specifying that it should only be available if there is no chance of survival could be seen as overly restrictive and not fully respecting the complexities of individual cases and the right to self-determination.

Disagree

No

Given the PES's commitment to human rights and dignity, outright opposition to assisted suicide is less likely. Their focus on social welfare and protection of vulnerable groups suggests they would not strongly support a blanket ban without considering nuanced positions that respect individual choice in dire circumstances.
