A close read of the landmark Supreme Court judgment decriminalizing assisted dying suggests they are eligible. The relevant criteria are that the patient is “a competent adult person who clearly consents to the termination of life and has a grievous and irremediable medical condition that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.
Some may argue these patients should tough it out, and say ending their lives is always an inappropriate answer to their suffering. That decision, however, is one that competent patients should be able to make for themselves. It is not for others to dictate. In a large study of subjective well-being, a team of Belgian researchers led by palliative case specialist Jan Bernheim found that only end-stage liver disease was subjectively as severe as mental disorders. Invariably, judgments about our quality of life are subjective, in the sense that they are judgments made by us about our lives.
