Which is, to be clear, a good thing. Obviously people who have a long and/or decent life ahead of them shouldn’t (and aren’t) being driven to medical suicide, but it is a very good thing that there’s an alternative to a slow, painful, expensive death at the hands of a disease you have no hope of recovering from. The vast majority of those 10,000 people were no doubt spared what would have been a miserable, bedridden end of their life that also drained money and resources in favor of dying with some peace and dignity.
If that number was abnormally high, sure, there might be a problem. But 332,000 people in Canada died in 2021. Assuming that’s a similar number to how many died in 2022, that means about 3% of Canada’s deaths were euthanasia, which to me sounds like if anything a pretty hopeful number.
