Of the countries that have legalized physician-assisted suicide, Australia looks to break a grim record. The country is on pace to see 3.5% of its deaths “caused” by euthanasia. This would be the largest first-year death percentage among all the nations that legalized euthanasia. In every other instance, the percentages would only increase and still are.

EXCERPT:
The staggeringly swift expansion of euthanasia law in Australia continues, as the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has reported its first euthanasia deaths, showing that the territory appears on track to have the highest proportion of assisted deaths in its first year among all jurisdictions in the world with their own assisted death laws.
ACT’s assisted death legislation, the most recent assisted death law to begin operating in Australia, is the most expansive assisted death legislation in Australia, and one of the most extreme in the world. It is the only scheme currently operating in Australia with no fixed time within which an applicant must be expected to die. It also sets no minimum waiting period between key steps, meaning that a person could request euthanasia in the morning and be dead by the afternoon.
