Resolved, this house believes in the right to die.

On the night of October 12, the union discussed the ethics of medical-assisted suicide, which revolve around the fundamental principles of autonomy, compassion, and the right to make choices about one's own life.

The notion of personal choice and individual autonomy are highly regarded in many modern societies, including the United States. In this context, denying access to medical-assisted suicide could be seen as an infringement on a person's fundamental right to determine the course of their own life, even in its final moments.

However, it's crucial to consider the potential pitfalls and concerns associated with implementing a policy supporting the right to die. One major concern is the risk of misjudging cases of severe depression or mental illness as legitimate reasons for assisted suicide. Mental health issues can often be treated, and people may make irrevocable decisions while in a vulnerable state of mind.

With almost the same number of votes both in favor and obtained, the resolution carries.
