Canada and Assisted Suicide


A bill was created by the Canadian law called bill C-384. The Canadians say assisted suicide is deliberately helping another person commit suicide. They can do this by prescribing the patient with a lethal dose, which will kill the person. The Canadian criminal law thinks this is illegal and amount to murder if committed. This bill C-384 would create exception for criminal liability for doctors who follow the rules, it would specify. Many of these people overlook that the patient has the right to die if they choose. Although the doctor must also be given the right to kill the Quebec government said it will set up a research committee to consider this issue and the bill.
