Years ago, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She was given less than 4 months to live. It just happened that the doctor was wrong. She lived an additional 15 years and died from something entirely different.

I’m sure this *never* happens in the Netherlands, but if it did, imagine how many people might have agreed to have been killed when they would have had a decade or more of life to spend with their family and friends.

My Brother in Law, a Canadian (yes - he relinquished his US citizenship at least 30 years ago) is a professor of Philosophy. His thesis happened to be on Euthanasia - has been in the Netherlands on sabbatical several times.

He is his parents' shining light -the Golden Boy whose words are gospel. A copy of said thesis is displayed proudly on the coffee table.

Only who do you think holds the medical POA for these two old lefties? My black sheep conservative husband! Like most libs, they talk a good talk until it affects them directly.
