Need a little help from our Dutch members.

IIRC euthanasia is legalised in Holland. Has that changed BTW? I need some information about your laws regarding this subject and since I don't speak your wonderful language I also need some help. [img]smile.gif[/img] It's no real hurry. Any help or information is GREATLY appreciated. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi WillowIX,

Unfortunately I don't speak Dutch either, but I found this web page full of links to pages that can probably help you out for now. They seem to be in English so no need for you to learn Dutch either. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi Willow! I'm not too sure about euthanasia being legal here, I know it *was*, but I thought it was made illegal. Still, there is a lot of controversy about the subject. I'm in kind of a hurry right now, so I can't help you any further.. sorry

It's legal, the rest of Europe practically outlawed us for it, but the law was passed nonetheless. That doesn't mean that every doctor now can go around and kill every patient who's asking for it though. There are still some rules that need to be followed, but still, it's legal here, yes.

Ahh thanks johnny. Thought for a while I had given my sis some false info.

Cujo, thanks for the link. Found the law on that site...

i think euthanasia is sometimes perfectly understandable and fine, as long as you do have rules to it. for some people, death can be a release from agony that may have lasted for years, thats fine. if a teenager comes asking for one because her boy/girlfriend had cheated on him/her, then it wouldnt be acceptable to grant it...

Read the article about that gothic band that wants some dude take his own life, live on a broadcast while the band is performing. Personally I think its a pathetic publicity stunt and that that band should be dismembered ASAP...
