The 2013 Netherlands euthanasia report was released yesterday indicating a 15% increase of reported euthanasia deaths. There were also 42 euthanasia deaths for people with psychiatric problems and 97 euthanasia deaths for people with dementia.
The 2013 report indicated that there were 4829 reported euthanasia deaths which was up from 4188 in 2012. As bad as it is, the reported euthanasia deaths do not include the unreported euthanasia deaths.
The five year Netherlands euthanasia Lancet study indicated that in 2010, 23% of all euthanasia deaths went unreported in the Netherlands, which was up from 20% in 2005. The under-reporting of euthanasia in the Netherlands represents (20% – 23%) of all euthanasia deaths. It is likely that the actual number of euthanasia deaths is (965 – 1100) deaths higher.
The number of reported euthanasia deaths in the Netherlands is continually increasing. There was a 15% increase in 2013, 13% in 2012, 18% in 2011, 19% in 2010. Further to that:
Theo Boer, a Dutch ethicist who had been a 9 year member of a euthanasia regional review committee recently wrote an article explaining why he has changed his mind and now opposes euthanasia. He explained how the Netherlands law has expanded its reasons for euthanasia and how the number of euthanasia deaths was constantly increasing turning euthanasia into a perceived right rather than an exception.
The reasons for euthanasia continues to expand in the Netherlands. For instance:
EPC predicted that there would be a continuous increase in the number and reasons for euthanasia after the Netherlands euthanasia lobby launched six mobile euthanasia teams.
The mobile euthanasia teams claimed that they would fill the “unmet demand” for euthanasia for people with chronic depression (mental pain), people with disabilities, people with dementia and loneliness, and for those whose request for euthanasia was declined by their physician.
Dutch ethicist, Theo Boer, stated in his recent article that:
I used to be a supporter of legislation. But now, with twelve years of experience, I take a different view.
Once the genie is out of the bottle, it is not likely to ever go back in again.
We need to heed the warning from Theo Boer. We need to reject killing people by euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Hitler would be proud.
Ghouls.
“The mobile euthanasia teams claimed that they would fill the “unmet demand” for euthanasia for people with chronic depression (mental pain), people with disabilities, people with dementia and loneliness, and for those whose request for euthanasia was declined by their physician.”
Positively ghoulish.
Who gets to decide who is “mental”, what defines “mental, and what the prescribed treatment is for a patient that is diagnosed as “mental” in a government operated healthcare system? Surely they would’t exploit if for political reasons would they?....no sarc tag necessary...
And trust me, they are ramping up the “discussion” now. We will see this officially instituted here within two years.
Zeke Emanuel will be pleased that all of these useless people are being prevented from getting to age 75.
Take the pill -

you better believe that’s the mindset and goal of the ‘progressives’ and since they can and are adding to ‘b ummer care all the time - easy to slip it in
An now I wonder why we bothered to liberate them from the Nazis.
I’m glad that Boer finally came out against euthanasia, but it may be too late for the poor people of the Netherlands. Too late for the near future, at any rate.
Please note, the government will question your “mental health” if:
1-You deny man made climate change,
2-Fail to support Common Core,
3-Attend a Church or Synagogue more than twice per year,
4-Are Registered Republican,
5-Have ever owned a firearm,
6-Have espoused Pro-Life beliefs,
7-Have ever expressed sympathies with the Tea Party,
8-Have questioned Obama’s leadership abilities,
etc....
I believe the “mobile euthanasia teams” had a different name in Germany: Die Einsatzgruppen.

Does the Netherlands have the death penalty for murderers, or only for useless people?
Only for useless people:
From Wikipedia:
Capital punishment (”doodstraf” in Dutch) in the Netherlands was first abolished in 1870, though only in criminal law, by the Dutch justice minister Van Lilaar. Following the abolition of the death penalty, life imprisonment was made an official punishment in 1878.
Between 1945 and 1952 several war criminals from World War II were sentenced to death by the Bijzonder Gerechtshof.
In military law, however, capital punishment remained a legal option until 1983, when it was explicitly forbidden in the Constitution for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In 1991, all references to the death penalty were removed from Dutch law.
Today the Netherlands operates a clear policy against capital punishment, such as not participating in extradition if the suspect has even the slightest chance of receiving the death penalty
DSM will come out with more diagnoses such as oppositional defiant disorder (313.81). Any veteran or stressed out person can be diagnosed with PTSD
The easiest way to get rid of someone is to place them in a mental institution for their own good; no trial is needed. Political opposition will be characterized as a mental disorder. If they don’t “improve”, euthanasia will be necessary to relieve them of their malady.
It’s still MURDER whatever you want to call it.
Indeed, it seems the Nazis won after all.
