Over 744 people have died by euthanasia in Canada since the nation’s legislators decriminalised the procedure in June. Canadian broadcaster, CTV News, which gathered the numbers, said the figures compiled were incomplete, suggesting even more people have died by euthanasia in the time period examined. As part of the report, CTV also interviewed Dr Ellen Wiebe, a euthanasia practitioner who predicted cases of euthanasia will increase. “I know that it will increase,” she said. “I expect that we’ll get to the point of the Netherlands and Belgium because their laws are similar to ours, and that would mean about 5% of all deaths.”
