Canada has introduced a bill on euthanasia of patients who have lost the ability to make decisions The Canadian government has introduced a bill that would allow patients who have lost the ability to make decisions to rely on euthanasia. Justice Minister Shaun Fraser says the new law will allow adults to give prior consent to euthanasia "so that their wishes are taken into account if they are diagnosed with a terminal illness that may prevent them from making that decision". The government intends to cooperate with the regions in the implementation of the project - while "strict measures will be taken to protect people and ensure that the decision remains voluntary and does not depend on external pressure". Euthanasia will be offered to those patients experiencing "unbearable suffering". The procedure has been legal in Canada for terminally ill patients since 2016. The executive director of the Canadian disability rights charity Inclusion Canada, Christa Carr, has already expressed concern about early requests for euthanasia, saying that a person's consent to their death "is the most basic protection they have" and that "Parliament should not override it."
