Brussels: Some 400 cases of euthanasia were reported in Belgium last year, up from 200 cases four years ago when the practice was first legalised, according to figures published on Tuesday.
About one third of assisted suicides are the result of a surgical procedure. In some cases, medical treatment is stopped or not started at all, said Wim Distelmans, chairman of Belgium's euthanasia evaluation committee.
