Very strongly agree

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

Kennedy has emphasized the importance of informed consent and mental health in medical decision-making. Requiring a psychological examination to ensure patients fully understand their choice would likely appeal to him as a safeguard against abuse or impulsive decisions, making this the answer he would most strongly support.

Strongly agree

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

Kennedy would likely support a more regulated approach to assisted suicide, such as limiting it to cases where there is no chance of survival. This aligns with the approach taken in states like Oregon, which have strict criteria for eligibility. His support for medical autonomy would likely extend to this more cautious, regulated framework.

Agree

Yes

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed support for individual autonomy in medical decisions, including the right to refuse treatment and make end-of-life choices. While he has not made a highly publicized statement specifically endorsing assisted suicide, his general stance on medical freedom and bodily autonomy suggests he would be sympathetic to allowing terminally ill patients to end their lives via assisted suicide. However, he may favor some safeguards, so his agreement is likely strong but not absolute.

Agree

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

Kennedy would likely support the right of patients to refuse artificial life support, as this aligns with established legal and ethical standards in the U.S. and with his broader views on medical autonomy. However, this answer does not go as far as supporting active assisted suicide, so he would agree but not as strongly as with broader autonomy.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Kennedy's emphasis on personal liberty and medical choice, it is unlikely he would support a blanket prohibition on assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. He has often criticized government overreach in personal health matters, so he would likely disagree strongly with this answer.
