LISBON — Portugal's conservative President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has signed a bill decriminalizing euthanasia into law in the Catholic-majority country after parliament on Friday overturned the last of his four vetoes. His office said in a statement the president had enacted the legislation 'as he is obliged' to do so under the constitution. Portugal becomes the sixth European Union country allowing the procedure. Opinion polls have long been showing the majority of Portuguese are in favor of the right to choose medically assisted death over suffering.
