Murder or mercy? Euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada

Global Montreal | Murder or mercy? Euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada: An expert panel is urging the federal government to decriminalize euthanasia and assisted suicide.

The report says assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia should be legal for competent individuals who make a free and informed decision that their life is no longer worth living.

The Royal Society of Canada's expert panel says if Ottawa won't co-operate, the provinces should go it alone by making clear they won't prosecute health-care professionals involved in assisted dying.
