The Estonian party Eesti 200 has proposed holding a referendum on euthanasia, meaning medically assisted ending of life. The party suggests holding the vote at the same time as Estonia's parliamentary elections in March 2027.

Residents would be asked whether adults of sound mind who have a serious, incurable illness should be allowed to end their lives with medical assistance.

The source gives no further details, such as how other parties view the idea, what stage the euthanasia bill has reached, or how the referendum would be arranged. The ERR news portal is continuing to cover the topic.
