LINK Assisted dying: Moral concerns 'shouldn't restrict people from having the choice', says campaigner | Newstalk

Spain became the fourth EU country to legalise euthanasia this week which will allow people with "serious and incurable" or debilitating diseases to end their life.

The other European countries where euthanasia is currently legal are Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, while the introduction of similar laws in Portugal was rejected as unconstitutional this week.
