“Actually the assisted suicide cases represent 1.2% of all deaths in Netherlands”

Marguarite, that number ( wherever you happened to pull it from) does not include euthanasia deaths or deaths without explicit request or consent. Those numbers are higher than assisted suicide.

Here's a link if you actually want to know the truth.

These statistics are from 2009, so wth the trend that was occurring prior to 2009, I imagine the numbers are higher by now.

Sharp Growth in Dutch Euthanasia Deaths

........."The number of reported euthanasia deaths has grown significantly. In 2008 there were 2331 reported deaths, in 2007 there were 2120 reported deaths, in 2006 there were 1923 reported deaths, and in 2003 there were 1815 reported deaths.

The number of deaths by euthanasia continues to escalate. Consider the fact that the 2005 official study of euthanasia in the Netherlands indicated that 7.1% of all deaths were by sedation and dehydration. These are often euthanasia deaths because the death is direct and intentional and the method of death is dehydration. A 2007 report suggested that up to 10% of all deaths in the Netherlands were by sedation and dehydration."...............

Santorum was right.

I’m not going to start a war on numbers.

Whatever you say, whatever Santorum says, it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the primary campaign. Rick is going crazy, that’s all I see.

Instead of wasting your time online counting the dead in Netherlands, WATCH THIS to learn what’s to be done in order to redress America’s prosperity, personal freedom and the country greatness:
