Has already been a thing in Belgium for ages. Euthanasia has been legal here since 2002. I think it's a good thing and more countries should follow

I mean, here in Quebec it's a new conceptIt is not really a new concept as much as an extension of existing medical proxy/healthcare proxy concepts.
I am so for people wanting to kill themselves.
I'm definitely for people who want to commit suicide in a safe way, on any level. If you're suffering and see no way out, you shouldn't have to get creative to kill yourself and scar someone else.
Families arguing for it where capacity might be lacking... tricky.
In a minor note, odd to see you have moved from Portugal to Sweden.Okay, agreed.
Maybe a way to euthanize
If they are healthy and the method for euthanasia is non-toxic to potential donor organs, I think requiring organ donation is the way to go. On the other hand, I agree that people with diseased/unhealthy organs should instead donate to science.Although, most people who have gotten to the stage of dying really shouldn't donate their organs--rather, they should donate their body to science to see if another life and future lives can be saved from their sacrifice.
