Troubling report on assisted-suicide in Canada

See the full story here.  A bit:

It’s more than a year since the Supreme Court of Canada decided that Canadians have a right under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms to receive physician assistance in dying. Effective June 6, physician-assisted death will be a funded part of medicare. Parliament has until that date to decide precisely who will be eligible, and what safeguards should be in place. The court foresaw it enacting a “complex regulatory regime” of “carefully designed and monitored safeguards.” Unfortunately, the federal report released yesterday recommends exactly the opposite, and proposes the world’s most open-ended regime with arguably the lowest safeguards. . . .

I've long believed that that assisted suicide would fairly quickly move from being permitted, to being encouraged and incentivized, to being (for some) effectively required.
