A total of 2,331 people made official requests for help with killing themselves under euthanasia legislation last year, a 10% increase on 2007, Nos tv reports on Friday.
The figure comes from the annual report published by the five regional euthanasia monitoring committees.
In total, 10 cases of assisted suicide were found not to have followed official guidelines and have been referred to the public prosecution department and health inspectorate for their comments, chairman Jan Suyver told Radio 1.
Under Dutch rules, a number of criteria which must be met before euthanasia can be administered. For example, the patient must be suffering unbearable pain and the doctor must be convinced the patient is making an informed choice. The opinion of a second doctor is also required.
Who says the European economy can’t grow!?
If they do it to themselves the muslims won’t have to.
Very sick place. They also practice eugenics there.
And yes, the Muslims ARE rapidly taking over because they multiply like roaches and the Dutch keep killing themselves, aborting their future children, and not starting families.
It's far easier to get an abortion; why is that?
Because babies aren’t people, at least not voting people. Unlike the dead who tend to vote.
it would be as hard to get an abortion, but they gave up on trying to get informed consent from the baby.
