Canada, a country with perhaps the most permissive euthanasia laws in the world, will soon make those laws even more permissive.
Under the new law, "mature" youth under the age of 18 and the mentally ill will soon qualify for euthanasia, according to the AP.
Canada first legalized euthanasia, a process by which doctors administer drugs in order to end a patient's life, back in 2016. The law supposedly attempts to restrict the practice to only those patients with a verifiable pathological condition, who are experiencing "unbearable physical or mental suffering that cannot be relieved under conditions that patients consider acceptable," and whose death is "reasonably foreseeable." The patient must submit a request for euthanasia, and at least two physicians must approve it.
