Canada rules out assisted suicide expansion for mental illness
Original: Canada won’t expand assisted suicide for those suffering from mental illness, government says
Canada's government has announced it will not go ahead with plans to expand medical assistance in dying to people suffering solely from mental illness. The decision keeps the existing eligibility criteria unchanged, despite years of debate over whether psychiatric conditions should qualify for assisted dying under Canadian law.
Why now: The announcement resolves a long-running and contentious debate over Canada's assisted dying law, drawing strong reactions from disability, mental health and religious groups.
