Slovenia is holding a referendum on legalizing assisted dying for terminally ill adults after its parliament passed a euthanasia bill in July, sparked by a citizens’ initiative led by right-wing politician Ales Primc. If 20% of voters oppose the bill, it will be rejected, with 54% of the electorate currently supporting it. Proponents, including Prime Minister Robert Golob, argue it alleviates suffering, while opponents, including the Catholic Church, advocate for palliative care instead. Other European countries have legalized similar laws, reflecting a growing trend toward assisted dying.
