Canada is preparing a change to its law on assisted dying, reports Reuters.

When the latest version of the law was passed in 2021, mental illness was excluded. From March next year, people suffering from mental illness will be able to apply for assisted dying. Two doctors must then assess and decide whether the application should be rejected or approved.

The law was first passed in 2016 and since then 30,000 Canadians have died via assisted dying, of which 10,000 in 2021.

The change in the law has been debated and questioned as some psychiatrists believe that it is impossible to determine whether a mental illness is incurable, while others believe that the new law would mean that patients would avoid “unbearable suffering”.

A spokesperson for Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos states that the government is now working intensively on the issue to develop a clear framework, reports Reuters.
