Which was the first country to legalise euthasia (physician-assisted suicide) ?
Correct answer: C. Netherlands
- A. Switzerland
- B. Germany
- C. Netherlands
- D. Brazil
Explanation
The Netherlands became the first country to legalise euthanasia nationwide in 2002, subject to strict legal conditions. Switzerland permits assisted suicide under certain circumstances but does not generally legalise active euthanasia, so the question’s parenthetical wording is imprecise.
