No they meant if they choose it. My body my choice.

I'm pretty sure it's the doctor's choice whether or not to assist in a suicide.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The point they are making though is that this should be the patients choice.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why should any medical procedure a doctor does be the patient's choice? I don't think doctors should be forced to perform procedures they don't want to perform. Why should a doctor be forced to kill a patient that wants to die?

They aren't saying doctors should be forced to do anything, they are saying if they want a assisted suicide that a physician can legally help.
