In Canada there is a specific worry that the government is effectively encouraging euthanasia.

  I understand they have more permissive euthanasia laws, I fail to see how that is encouraging it though. Are you able to provide examples as I may be misinformed here?

      From that article, that was a single agent who has now been suspended. That doesn't sound like state encouragement of euthanasia to me.

        There are multiple reports of it happening to others as well. I'm not going to send you everyone. Obviously, this was an example of one such incident. The fact is, when you have a government run health system and it's limited on funds you will start to encourage the government to move people towards assisted suicide. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out.... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/11/canada-cases-right-to-die-laws https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/11/canada-cases-r... One of the women Canada touted as helping "peacefully die" supposedly ask for help with her condition multiple times and was refused any sort of medical help, and then given the suggestion she should just kill herself instead. Your refusal to acknowledge the facts right in front of your eyes isn't my problem.
