Debate on Euthanasia becoming legal in Cyprus begins

The House Human Rights Committee on Monday began debate on Euthanasia becoming legal for terminally-ill patients in Cyprus.

The controversial issue touches on human rights, religion, and key legal issues that need to be resolved at some point, she also said.

The discussion will continue with the participation of patient associations and non-governmental organizations as well.

Euthanasia — a hard subject from both a legal and an emotional viewpoint — is forbidden by law in Cyprus.
