    The title of this article is deplorably sensationalistic, but the article itself isn’t bad. I guess they couldn’t fit this into the title:

    It requires a written application and assessments from two independent medical practitioners, including at least one specialized in their condition if the applicant is not near their natural death.

    The article also notes:

    Even after the change in the legislation [to allow non-foreseeable death applications], about 98% of the assisted deaths in 2021 were people deemed near their natural death, according to Health Canada data.
