Euthanasia Evolution in Canada
This chapter analyzes the development of euthanasia and assisted suicide laws in Canada, particularly the implications of the term 'reasonable foreseeability of natural death.' It discusses significant legal shifts, including a court ruling that removed the terminal illness requirement, and raises concerns about potential discrimination and ethical dilemmas that arise in the process. By contrasting Canadian policies with those of the Netherlands and the U.S., the chapter critiques the permissive trajectory of euthanasia laws, highlighting troubling cases that challenge the integrity of the approval process.
