First euthanasia in Netherlands of severe Alzheimer’s patient performed | News | National Post: A woman with advanced Alzheimer’s disease has been euthanized in the Netherlands, a first in a country that requires patients to be fully mentally alert to request to die, activists said Wednesday.
The 64-year-old woman died in March after being sick “for a very long time,” said a spokesman for the Right to Die-NL group. She had insisted “for several years” that she wanted to be euthanized, added spokesman Walburg de Jong.
Comment by Wesley J. Smith: "Doctors have been euthanizing patients who never asked to be killed almost from the inception of the country’s euthanasia license, and nothing meaningful is done about it."
