In fairness it’s something that has to be absolutely rock solid.
I went through some of the Dignitas routes with my uncle last year and it’s a fairly robust and lengthy process.
There are a lot of boxes that need to be checked and I can absolutely understand why.
It’ll probably go to Citizens Assembly before anything else happens with it
Personally I’m supportive of assisted dying for those with terminal illnesses, or life long disabling incurable conditions.
I don’t like where Canada is going whereby people with depression and other mental illnesses can request euthanasia. Not that a mental illness can’t be any less debilitating than a physical one. But it still leaves a sour taste.
