Note: the title should be updated.

The BBC article title now says "Assisted dying" not "euthanasia". Often, the distinction hinges on whether the patient or a medical practitioner administers a substance that brings about death. The Canadian policy actually provides for both, but as I understand it the stats being cited in the article combine both, so only a subset of the tally are "euthanasia" deaths.



Ok, we've updated the title. It was originally "Canada euthanasia now accounts for nearly one in 20 deaths".


Some provinces (notably SK) do not offer self-administered MAiD, just FYI.
