That is, more groups of people can be legally euthanased now than 2006 due to legal challenges?

There is evidence of spread to categories of people outside the provisions of the law - with no prosecutions - and also evidence that the public conscience is changing and euthanasia is being seen increasingly as a legitimate lifestyle choice and a way of dealing with life's problems.

That is a large number for such a small country. Large numbers frighten me especially if they are applied to large Countries like the USA. I try to imagine what the number would be if extrapolated to the American model and it scares me.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250636377382098547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-20534577545373660482014-09-29T14:51:13.355-07:002014-09-29T14:51:13.355-07:00Peter Thanks for this.

Do you have any evidence that this increase is due to creeping indications for euthanasia compared to when the law was first introduced, or is it just 'popularity'?
