                                                                           Euthanasia in Portugal

The law of medically assisted death will become legal in Portugal. After two presidential vetoes and two failures in the Constitutional Court, the Portuguese Parliament approved, for the fifth time, the law for medically assisted death. 

The proposal determines that death by euthanasia can only be carried out over 18 years of age and if assisted suicide is impossible due to the patient's physical incapacity.

Portugal thus becomes the 6th European country to legalise euthanasia: Belgium (2002); the Netherlands (2002); Luxembourg (2009); and most recently Germany (2020) and Spain (2020).
