New study: Euthanasia represents 4.6% of all death according

Taken from the March 2015 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine about a survey of Holland's physicians regarding their practice of Euthanasia.

"A significant and continuous problem is the number of hastened deaths without explicit request from the patient in Belgium.

In 2007, 1.8% of all deaths were hastened deaths without explicit request while in 2013, 1.7% of all deaths were hastened deaths without explicit request.

Since there are 58000 deaths each year in Belgium, therefore approximately 1000 deaths are hastened each year without request."

So in a country with approximately half as many people as Canada, 1000 people per year are euthanized without asking to be killed. That would translate to about 2200 people per year in Canada or approximately 6 people per day dying at the hands of the state. Still think that those of who are loudly ringing out warning that following the Netherlands example is a threat to us all are exaggerating?
