Is It Legal to Be Euthanized?

A physically healthy 23 year old was helped take her own life in a truly shocking euthanasia case in Belgium. Shanti De Quarté traumatized after a terror attack in 2016 died in May after medics agreed she was so depressed that she could be legally euthanized last night. British campaigners fighting the introduction of assisted dying laws warned that even if a narrowly defined act was brought in, it would inevitably broaden over time to include those with mental health problems. But dignity and dying said there was no evidence from around the world that this tended to happen.
