> Isn't Canada in an international news story for euthanising people to save money? No. The medically assisted dying legislation was expected to have a negligible impact on healthcare costs. Its introduction was driven by the Supreme Court ruling that all Canadians have a right to a full life, and denying assistance forces people with degenerative conditions to end their life earlier than they would wish (while they are still capable of doing it themselves), to avoid being trapped in an intolerable state of agony in their final days. The budget analysis done by the Parliamentary Budget Office was just the standard procedure for any legislation. It described insignificant cost savings (~0.03%).
