Slovenians vote in a referendum on assisted dying for terminally ill patients
A repeat referendum challenges Slovenia's assisted dying law after a petition backed by 46,000 signatures triggered a new vote amid 54% public support, poll shows.
- Slovenia will hold a new referendum on Sunday to decide whether a recently passed law legalizing assisted dying will be enforced or suspended.
- The law would allow terminally ill patients to receive medical aid in dying if their suffering is unbearable and all treatment options have been exhausted.
- A civil group backed by the Catholic Church and conservative opposition gathered enough signatures to force the new referendum after the law was initially approved.
