This sounds like someone who has never had significant interactions with the Canadian healthcare system...
Many shoulder shrugs, year long waitlists, misdiagnoses, not respecting DNRs, etc
If you mean that assisted suicide is legal in Canada under very strict circumstances for terminally ill people, then yes, that is correct.
It's legal in multiple developed countries around the world.
Personally, after watching my Mum be eaten alive by Cancer that spread from her lungs to her bones to all her organs, I think it's merciful and much needed.

> Disability experts say the story is not unique in Canada, which arguably has the world’s most permissive euthanasia rules — allowing people with serious disabilities to choose to be killed in the absence of any other medical issue
Absolutely disgusting and barbaric.
You think it's disgusting and barbaric to allow people to make their own decisions about their own life?
I, ah, disagree with you. I personally think people should be allowed to choose what they do with their own life. Personal Freedom and all that.
No, I think it’s awful that the state will kill people that are not terminally ill. These aren’t the “strict circumstances” you justified this with initially. Now it’s a “personal freedom” thing? And the state should assist in this? Killing someone’s who is sad isn’t a mercy killing like your mother had. It’s active promotion of suicide.
Ridiculous. And still disgusting and barbaric.
Give it a rest, the state is a not "killing" anyone.
"The State" allows people to choose to end their own life if they want to.
I would just like to clarify - Canada is in North America and it is nothing like you describe above. Actually it's quite the opposite, our healthcare means we're literally all-in to help each other.
You're talking about the United States, not "North America"
