... crossed that line in December last year when they euthanized a two-year-old, uh, child who was very, very seriously disabled.

No one is d- disputing that this was a very serious case of, of serious disability.

Canada is much more recent.

They only passed their law in 2016 after a really difficult fight with people who didn't want the law passed.
49:20
And the law makes very exclusively clear that you can be killed by a medical doctor or a medical professional if you have a quote unquote certain set of symptoms.
