Discussion Should Assisted Suicide be legal for people under the age of 18?

[brood]

I voted yes because the alternative is a ban in all circumstances, that can't be right.

Depends on what you mean by legal. Should someone under the age of 18 unilaterally be about to choose to end their life? No. Should someone under the age of 18 with a guardians approval be allowed to end their life? Yes. They could have a terminal illness or have been in a horrible accident that will radically change their life and I think those who have to live that life should have a right to avoid suffering.

Even if it's illegal they will do it if they're enough prepared... Like bro tf they gonna do?... Bring u back to life?

Damn it's sad to see many people voted yes

Under 18 can't give consent to anything then why they should be allowed to do assisted suicide, if they have terminal illness or any life threatening issues then it is okay or else don't even think about it

Assisted suicide should be allowed only after 21!

No. Kids are fucking stupid. Also the brain still develops until 25.

There are always going to be extenuating circumstances. Some children who are disabled and living terrible qualities of life with no hope of improvement ought to be given a peaceful way out. I imagine this would be a decison made between them, their parents and doctors.

As a general rule though- I think the age limit for assisted suicide should be 18 plus.
