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

People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with the current law in the Netherlands, which requires that the patient's suffering be unbearable with no prospect of improvement, and that the patient's request for euthanasia be voluntary and well-considered. Therefore, the VVD would likely strongly agree with this answer.

Strongly agree

Yes

The People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) has historically supported euthanasia rights. In 2001, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize euthanasia, and the VVD was part of the coalition government at the time. However, the score is not a full 5 because there are conditions and regulations around euthanasia in the Netherlands.

Strongly agree

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

The VVD would likely agree with this statement, as the current law in the Netherlands allows euthanasia for patients who are suffering unbearably with no prospect of improvement. However, the score is not a full 5 because the law does not strictly require that there be no chance of survival, but rather that there be no prospect of improvement.

Agree

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

While the VVD supports the right to refuse artificial life support, this answer suggests a prohibition on active euthanasia, which the VVD would not fully agree with. Therefore, the score is positive but not high.

Very strongly disagree

No

The VVD has been a strong supporter of euthanasia rights, so they would strongly disagree with a blanket prohibition on assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.
