Canada euthanasia debate reaching children
A claim that Canada's assisted-death rules could expand to include children, framed as alarming and morally troubling.
- A Quebec physicians' group reportedly floated allowing euthanasia for infants under age one.
- The idea is that a child could request assisted death if deemed able to make the decision.
- In some provinces, parents lose access to a child's medical records and decision-making at age 12.
- The tone is one of outrage, ending with a plea for Canada's government to be overthrown.
Outlook: Expect this to fuel more heated debate over Canada's assisted-death laws and how far they should extend to minors.
