Doctors Kill In 14% of Dutch Deaths

Doctors Kill In 14% of Dutch Deaths » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog: Articles have celebrated the official 2.8% euthanasia rate. But that doesn’t include assisted suicide (0.2) and the fact that 23% of euthanasia deaths are unreported. So, that brings the official count to about 3.5%. . . . But Wesley Smith's research indicates that about 2% of terminal cases require palliative sedation, which is not killing because it is done at the very end of life and death comes from the disease, not dehydration. Using that figure, about 10% of Dutch deaths were TS slow motion euthanasia. That raises the killing count to nearly 14%.
