Slovenia Legalizes Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill
Slovenia has passed a new law!
This law allows people who are very sick and suffering to choose to end their lives.
If they have a disease that won't get better, and if they are in a lot of pain, they can ask for help to pass away peacefully.
Other countries, like Australia and Canada, have similar laws to help people who are suffering.
This law only helps people who are terminally ill, so they will not be suffering anymore.
Slovenia approved a law to allow assisted dying on Friday.
This places Slovenia among a growing list of countries that have legalized assisted dying.
The law grants terminally-ill adults the right to end their lives.
Eligibility requires facing unbearable suffering with no expectation of improvement.
Countries like Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Belgium also permit assisted dying.
