EUTHANASIA LAWS AROUND THE WORLD

The efforts to change government policies in euthanasia in the 20th century have met limited success in western countries. euthanasia policies have also been developed by various NGO's. Euthanasia is only legal in Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland, Germany, Albania, Colombia, Japan and in the US states of Washington, New mexico, Montana. Euthanasia was criminalized in Mexico, Thailand, Estonia and the US states of California. 

Euthanasia is now illegal in Australia. Unlike the States, legislation in the northern territory is not guaranteed by the Australian constitution. Before this law was passed by the Australian government, one doctor helped three people by using his machine. some organisations wanted the government to bring back euthanasia rights to Australia.

The Belgium party legalized Euthanasia on 28 May, 2002. people who died from Euthanasia were mostly younger male cancer patients. in almost all cases unbearable physical suffering were reported.
