Doctors should always deal with euthanasia

DutchNews.nl - Doctors should always deal with euthanasia: KNMG: Doctors with moral objections to euthanasia should always refer patients to another doctor for help, according to new guidelines drawn up by the national doctors association. In addition, euthanasia requests should always be taken seriously, even if someone has simply had enough of life without being terminally ill. A string of complaints relating to old age, for example, could be grounds for mercy killing, even if they are not terminal. But no-one should be helped to die simply because they are old or fed up with living.
