LISBON - Hundreds of Portuguese, old and young, protested outside parliament on Thursday against proposed bills that would legalize euthanasia as lawmakers geared up for a fierce debate on the issue that is likely to be approved in a house vote.
Euthanasia involves a physician taking an active role in ending a patient’s life whereas in assisted suicide the doctor provides a lethal substance for the patient to self-administer. Both practices are allowed in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. Portugal’s right-wing CDS-PP party and the Catholic Church want to call a referendum on the issue if the bill is approved.
