Euthanasia advice redefines suffering: Netherlands

Euthanasia advice redefines suffering | Radio Netherlands Worldwide: Under the Euthanasia Act, a request for euthanasia may be honoured only if a patient is undergoing unbearable and lasting suffering. The [Dutch physicians' association] now says that, if non-medical factors such as income or loneliness are to be taken into consideration, other specialists must be consulted when a patient has requested euthanasia.
