As it should. It allows people who currently live in constant pain to die with some dignity, and it’s less painful for the family than plain old suicide.
We still need to be careful tho there’s only a fine line until we become like Canada.
Imo we have the perfect balance. Its accessible but with rules/guidelines that have to be followed
Always nice, an article without any statistics.
In 2022 there were just shy of 3000 cases of euthanasia. The vast mayoirity of those are people over 70 years old. (70% of cases). Only 1.4% of cases were people under 40.
0.6% of cases were people who had predeterimined euthanasia if they became not responsive (I gues comatose, non-responsive (?) )
Most of cases involve cancer or another physical ilness. Only about 2.5% of cases have a cognitive or psychiatric disorder at the base.
These total numbers present about 2.5% of total deaths in 2022.
61 people came from abroad, but apparently place of residence is something you can fill in, not need to, so could be higher.
