    2 things I can only add.

    1- it’s the daily mail, treat it with caution and look much, much further than them for an actual story (they’ve also been known to make up quotes)

    2- countries other than Canada made assisted suicide legal and do not have the problems Canada does with it.

      Is their regulation much stricter? I had read that the numbers in Canada are going through the roof. If the euthanasia is restricted to, quoting another poster “when an 84 year old grandfather with terminal cancer, and multiple organ failure is being kept alive only through medical technology and wishes to have a respectful, painless passing that will lessen the pain his family has to feel” the numbers will naturally be low, but if they are doing it to people with non terminal disease or disability instead of giving them proper care this is certainly something else.

      Also worth to compare the suicide statistics between Canada and those countries. If they don’t match the assisted suicide then you will know something is afoul in that system (beside being capitalist dictatorship that naturally drives people to suicide).

      @yogthos@lemmy.ml can you please comment on that? I seen you post on lemmy multiple times about euthanasia in Canada

        Basically, the issue is that the inadequate social safety net in Canada is encouraging disabled people to choose euthanasia because they’re unable to live in dignity. The problem isn’t with allowing people to end their life on their terms, but the fact that it’s the economic conditions that drive them to that. A couple of good articles discussing this:

          By personal experience in Parkdale CI high school and Bowmore middle school of Toronto city, Canada also support bullying by head teacher and corrupted school superintendent against autistic student through scapegoating, exaggerated slander in public, toxic influence to students , and blackmailing of parents with armed gangster conspiracies. The ableist corrupted school authorities can freely evade punishment for their crimes to mock the rule of law and justice system in their country. The worse part is that the whole community is censoring whistleblowing on the violence against autistic students for their nationalist pride to their toxic culture.

        Not necessarily stricter, but possibly a longer process to get access. Depends on the country.
