It's legal here, but only under specific circumstances such as uncurable disease that causes chronic pain (like sclerosis), lack of quality of life (like tetraplegia), and recently (late October), in Quebec, a law was passed that allows people to agree to anticipated euthanisia, like after having received a diagnosis of Alzheimer or Parkinson, where you accept to receive euthanasia after reaching a certain step of the disease (such as not recognising your own family).

I'm not sure about the accuracy of these numbers (as in, someone who asks for MAiD because of schlerosis, is he entering for MAiD AND schlerosis category?)
But let's be honnest, having high numbers like that (for MAiD) is great relief for me. Criterias for admissibility are pretty strict, and there is also a procedure to follow (i.e to be evaluated by two doctors)
Let's say someone is diagnosed with schlerosis and suffers from chronic pain all the time, 24/7, would you prefer to let him suffer until he passes and die (which could happen at any time)? Or would you prefer him to choose how and when he will die (which is often with their family around them, so they can say their final good byes).
I prefer the second option.

Also, FYI, MAiD already existed before (and already exists in USA). It's just that the doctor would dope the body of the patient with an overdose of drugs (like tranquiliser or annestesian) and say that "the patient didn't tolerate the annesthesia/procedure", but at that point, it was often preceded by "therapeutic relentlessness", which is exactly what we wanted to avoid when that law was made
