    Canada has expanded its laws on euthanasia to allow assisted death for those with terminal illnesses or chronic conditions without physical disabilities. The laws are expected to further expand to include some cases of mental disorders. While the process is strictly monitored to ensure safety, some critics argue the expanded laws devalue lives and the government should prioritize improving support for those with disabilities. The number of Canadians dying with medical assistance has risen faster than in other countries in recent years, and many issues around the boundaries of eligibility remain unresolved.
