      Does euthanasia account for 10% of all deaths in the Netheralnds?

          Well Santorum probably doesn't know the difference between 2 and 10 in Dutch.

            Elok, I am sorry for your loss.

            How the selection works I don't know. The thing is, they all 3 agreed to perform the euthanasia. But then the management of the hospital intervened and had one of the doctors reverse the desicion.
            If your grandfather was terminally ill, only two doctors are required to approve euthanasia (link)

Indien deze dienst onbereikbaar is, of het conflict niet opgelost geraakt, kan je nog altijd terecht bij de federale ombudsdienst.

              In Belgium, 4 out of 10 deaths are determined by a medical decision. This means that rather they are directed by doctors rather than by natural causes. Of course, this includes more than just voluntary euthanasia.

                The Dutch have finally figured out the Republican front runner is lying about them.

                Santorum's claim that the Dutch advocate mass murder through euthanasia has prompted a furious backlash from the Netherlands. Santorum asserted that half the people whose lives are ended through euthanasia are involuntarily euthanized, and that residents wear bracelets begging not to be killed by

                          So up to 40% of the deaths in Belgium are from doctors deliberately killing patients without their permission?
                          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                            Involuntary euthanasia is illegal in the Netherlands. Active non voluntary euthanasia which is different from what Santorum was referring to however is legal under under an agreement between physicians and district attorneys that was ratified by the Dutch National Association of Pediatricians. I would be interested in any stats on its use however.

                              What's "active non-voluntary" mean? Killing the permanently incapacitated who can't communicate their wishes, as with the comatose? Or what?

                                Yes. Though it seems to be mainly performed on infants.
