Here are the latest figures for euthanasia in the Netherlands, drawn from the 2020 annual report.
* With 6938 deaths by euthanasia, this accounted for 4.12% of all deaths. (If the estimated 15,000 extra deaths from Covid-19 were put aside, the rate would be 4.52%)
* There were two cases of euthanasia for Covid-19 in 2020.
* With one more case of child euthanasia (a boy aged 12-16), a total of 16 children aged 12-17 have been euthanised since 2002.
* The Supreme Court's decision allowing surreptitiously sedating a person with dementia in order to ensure non-resistance to euthanasia "requested" in an advanced directive is being put into effect, with two cases in 2020.
* Abandonment of hope and affirmation of despair are continuing to be pursued as a legitimate response to people with mental illness. Included in the 88 cases reported for 2020 was a 60-70 year old woman with an intellectual disability euthanised for depression.

Apparently, the NAZIs never really left the Netherlands.
After all the government dependents have served their usefulness in destroying the Republic, they can look forward to being either useful for once, or euthanized too.

A culture where assisted suicide is legal is not one I want to live in.
The Dutch medical patients in West Holland have always wondered why local physician Dr. Luuk Vanderberg MD named his clinic
“Hotel California”, and in English, no less!
After a string of ‘certain events’, the locals have a better understanding now. (Sarc)
“That’s a very high percentage of any population to choose such deliberate methods of ending their lives.”
Perhaps they are more honest than we are here. Here they just up the morphine drip gradually until it reaches a lethal level.
It’s not called euthanasia.
Sickening.
Hmmm....
Anne Frank would be horrified.
I suspect many have died in the US over the last year without having adequate care. The covid scam was a perfect setup to deny anyone from seeing the patients as they were allowed to die, or worse.
The Twilight Zone episode Examination Day comes to mind.
I read “Neanderthals”.
Change my mind.
What was the age and condition of the deceased?
“Report to carousel... Report to carousel...”
Those particular numbers have not yet been ‘crunched’.
It’s at least that much in every advanced country.
Well over 90% of cancer patients actually die of morphine overdose.
It’s just not on the books.
Pat Buchanan wrote about this stuff 20 years ago. I think that book was ‘Death Of The West.’
The policy is that the older one gets and or gets a expensive ailment a person is not a person but a burden. One argument always is that “They want to die and end suffering”.
