A Canadian veteran of the war in Afghanistan says it is “disgusting, unacceptable and infuriating” that ex-soldiers suffering from PTSD have been offered assisted suicide in Canada.

There were 13,500 state-sanctioned assisted suicides in Canada in 2022, a projection anticipates in the run-up to the official release of statistics in July. SPUC says these latest figures should serve as “a wake-up call for the UK”, which is currently considering the legalisation of assisted suicide.
