The expansion of assisted dying to include people with mental disorders is criticised by some experts.
Canada's Justice Minister David Lametti said the government wanted to be "prudent" in its expansion of medically-assisted dying to people with mental illness
The expansion has come under fire from some experts, who worry that it offers death as an option to people with suicidal thoughts.The expansion of assisted dying to people with mental illness would mean that Canada would have one of the most liberal euthanasia laws in the world. Canada made medically-assisted death legal in September 2016. The legislation was passed after Canada's Supreme Court ruled that doctors could help patients who had severe and incurable medical conditions to die.
