Description

A new nation-wide survey of euthanasia was commissioned in 2001 by the Dutch Ministers of Health and Justice, and the report on this study, a book of 272 pages, was published in the fall of 2003. (1) The study was led by the same investigators as the previous government-ordered surveys of euthanasia (1990 (2) and 1995 (3)), and arranged to obtain partly comparable data. This time, however, the main purpose was to assess the effectiveness of review and verification procedure (toetsing procedure). (4) The practice of euthanasia was studied to the extent necessary to evaluate this procedure. Several issues that had not been covered in previous studies were included this time: euthanasia on children and minors ages 1-16, physician-assisted suicide of healthy persons "tired of life," euthanasia of demented older persons who had previously signed a declaration, the use of terminal sedation, the possible influence of palliative care on the demand for euthanasia, and opinions of patients' families and the general public.
