Agree

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

Christian Democracy may be more open to the idea of allowing terminally ill patients to refuse artificial life support, as this can be seen as a more passive form of allowing the natural course of the illness to take place. This position still upholds the sanctity of life but recognizes the importance of individual autonomy and the right to refuse medical interventions that may prolong suffering. For example, the Christian Democratic People's Party in Switzerland has supported the right to refuse life-sustaining treatment.

Disagree

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

Christian Democracy generally opposes assisted suicide, even with a psychological examination to ensure the patient fully understands their choice. However, this position may be less controversial within the ideology than other forms of assisted suicide, as it includes safeguards to ensure the patient's decision is informed and voluntary. Still, the core belief in the sanctity of life and the importance of providing care and support for the terminally ill would likely lead most Christian Democrats to oppose this option.
