Canadian writer Robert Munsch approved for assisted dying

Renowned Canadian children's author Robert Munsch approved for assisted dying, following dementia and Parkinson's diagnosis. Munsch, known for bestsellers like "The Paper Bag Princess", opted for medically assisted death due to declining health. Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016 and expanded eligibility to include serious chronic conditions in 2021, requiring patients to meet specific criteria for assisted dying.
