Dr Leonie Herx

Dr Leonie Herx, the President of the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians, spoke out against the legalization of euthanasia in a debate, yesterday, concerning the End of Life Choices bill that is being debated in New Zealand.

A report by Don Satherley published by Newshub reports that Herx urged New Zealander not to legalize euthanasia. Her arguement was based on her experience with euthanasia in Canada. Satherley reports:

Euthanasia has been legal in Canada since 2016, where it's known as medical aid in dying, or MAID. Since then about 8000 have chosen to end their lives this way, Dr Herx says, making up around 1.5 percent of all deaths.
