Sweden
Passive euthanasia was deemed legal after a landmark court ruling in 2010. That means a health care professional can legally cease life support upon request from a patient if they understand the consequences stated by their health care provider, and administering a lethal substance is also illegal.[98]

Thank you, and that is exactly the type of thing that needs to be called out in this type of discussion.

I am not saying that shutting down every bar and beauty salon in the US was a great idea (btw, it wasn't). But I'm also not saying that Sweden should lead the way for America. I like their theoretical 'hands off' approach. But as you scratch, you sniff some noxious fumes such as a relatively higher level of fatalities, economic fallout, strong divergence of opinion in their country (they're just as divided as is America), forced closure of restaurants not abiding by the 2 metre rule, etc.

This potential for legal pulling the plug will likely come to a head when/if Sweden's critical care capacity gets tapped. So far, they have about 35% capacity; if it hits a tipping point, I'm prepared for stories about euthanasia coming out. Sure, I bet that's happening here, but over there people seem to be down with that practice. More to come, no doubt.
