The number of pairs that choose common euthanasia grows in the Netherlands. The basis for this material was the death of the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dris Van Agtu, who, along with his wife, Eugene Crackelberg chose euthanasia last Monday. Both were 93 years old, and they had health problems for a long period. Van Agt heard poorly after hemorrhage in the brain in 2019, during a speech at the West Honoring the Palestinians, and did not recover completely.
Although common euthanasia is rare, queries are increasing. In 2020, 26 pairs were permitted for this procedure, in 2021 - 32 pairs, and in 2022 - 58 pairs.
Elche of the Euthanasie Euthanasie Euthanasia Presscretar, which conducts euthanasia for about 1,000 people a year in the Netherlands, notes that each request for assistant death in the pair is checked individually according to strict criteria. "This interest is growing, but this is still an exceptional situation," she says. "It is an accident that two people simultaneously suffer from the hope of relief ... and that they both wish euthanasia."
In the Netherlands, euthanasia and suicide assistance have been permitted since 2002 under six conditions, including uns with suffering, lack of perspective and a sustained desire to die. The second specialist should also confirm the desire. Most procedures are performed by a family doctor at home.
Driz van Agt, who was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands in 1977-1982 and headed the party "Christian-Democratic", may have been a Catholic, but for 70 years he chose to share his path with his lover, which he called "My Girl".
