Should Canadians legalize assisted suicide?
Debate about whether or not Canadians should legalize an individual’s right to physician-assisted suicide has been raging since the early 1990s. Advocates for the legislation argue that not only does criminalizing assisted-suicide mandate needless pain on the terminally ill, but it strips these same individuals of their right to end their lives as an able-bodied person is legally able to do—suicide itself is not illegal in Canada.
