Canadian actress Claire Brosseau, who is physically healthy and has admitted to having an “embarrassment of riches’’ in her life, is in court asking for the right to die by assisted suicide due to severe mental illness. She claims she was forced to seek assisted suicide after multiple unsuccessful attempts to end her life. Despite her physical health, she has been unable to leave home for several months due to bipolar and post traumatic disorders. She is seeking a constitutional exemption from Canada's Medical Aid in Dying, which restricts access to euthanasia to those with mental illnesses rather than physical conditions. Despite these challenges, Broseau's parents and sister have expressed their horror at her plans to try to die, despite the physical limitations.
