CWN Editor's Note: An organization that was once instrumental in the acceptance of physician-assisted suicide in Canada is now warning of widespread abuses in the process.
The British Columbia Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA), whose lawsuit led to a court decision striking down a ban on the practice, has acknowledged that many people are being euthanized without clear evidence of having made an informed decision.
