What will happen if euthanasia is legalized? Author Mami Kodama says, “In just five years since legalization, the number of euthanasia deaths in Canada has exceeded 40,000.There have also been cases where people with disabilities who were financially strapped chose death, and this has become a problem.” –.

Although Canada is a latecomer, it has become an advanced country in euthanasia.
Although Canada is a latecomer to the legalization of euthanasia, having only legalized euthanasia in 2016, it has continued to move in radical directions one after another, and is now on track to overtake Belgium and the Netherlands. It has become the definition of a “developed country.”
In Canada, Quebec led the way in legalizing it in 2015, but at that time, the wording of the law collectively referred to both active euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide as MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying), and legalized it the following year. The Canadian federal government followed suit. Medical Assistance in Dying in plain Japanese means “medical assistance when dying.” However, this means that everything from active euthanasia to palliative care is linked together.
Until then, the position promoting euthanasia had used phrases such as AID (Assistance in Dying), VAD (Voluntary Assisted Dying), and PAD (Physician-Assisted Dying), implying that “euthanasia refers to medical care at the time of death.” It’s about getting help, and it’s no different from palliative care.”However, it can be said that Canada has clearly stated its position as a country and legalized euthanasia.
