I think this law is dodgy as hell, and the inclusion of minors is complete bullshit. One bit of rhetorical flim-flam in the article, however:

The law—and its 31,000+ casualties, or a shocking 3.3 percent of all 2021 Canadian deaths [...]

This heavily implies that the 31,000 assisted suicides happened in 2021 as well. That number is an aggregate of assisted suicides from 2016 to 2021. The number for 2021 itself is still a shockingly high 10,064, but I guess 1% doesn't sound as good as 3% for the article's goals.

Reading some more details, 80% were in palliative care for cancer and that sort of stuff, but I still have the queasy feeling that it ends up in some sort of Logan's Run Carousel shit.
