The Reporting Rate of Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide: A Study of the Trends
OBJECTIVES: To study trends in reporting rates of euthanasia from 1990 to 2005 in relation to whether recommended or nonrecommended drugs were used, and the most important differences between reported and unreported cases in 2005. RESEARCH DESIGN: Questionnaires were sent to a sample of 6860 physicians who had reported a death in 2005 (response 78%). Previously, 3 similar studies were done at 5-year intervals. The total number of euthanasia and p…
Using Drugs to End Life without an Explicit Request of the Patient
A small proportion of deaths result from the use of drugs with the intention to hasten death without an explicit request of the patient. Additional insight into its characteristics is needed for evaluating this practice. In the Netherlands in 2001, questionnaires were mailed to physicians that addressed the decision making that preceded their patient's death. Cases of ending life without an explicit request of the patient were compared with simil…
Relatives' Perspective on the Terminally Ill Patients Who Died after Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Interview Study in the Netherlands
This study used retrospective interviews with 87 relatives to describe the experiences of patients who died by euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide (EAS) in the Netherlands. Most of the patients suffered from cancer (85%). The relatives were most often a partner (63%) or a child (28%) of the patient. Before explicitly requesting EAS most patients (79%) had spoken about their wishes concerning medical end-of-life decisions to be made at a late…
A “Suicide Pill” For Older People: Attitudes of Physicians, the General Population, and Relatives of Patients who died After Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide in The Netherlands
In the Netherlands there has been ongoing debate in the past 10 years about the availability of a hypothetical "suicide pill", with which older people could end their life in a dignified way if they so wished. Data on attitudes to the suicide pill were collected in the Netherlands from 410 physicians, 1,379 members of the general population, and 87 relatives of patients who died after euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. The general populati…

Health Expectancy: From a Population Health Indicator to a Tool for Policy Making
This article presents a methodologic framework for a disability-adjusted life expectancy (DALE), an extended and enhanced variety of the common health expectancy indicator. The DALE is based on a causal link running from risk factors through diseases and disability to mortality. This causal link allows the DALE to be used for evaluation of potential interventions and analysis of observed trends. The DALE methodology consists of a combination mult…

The Remmelink Study Two Years Later
The Remmelink Committee published its report on medical decisions at\nthe end of life in the Netherlands in September 1991. As a result, the Dutch\ndebate about physician aid-in-dying has been broadened to include\nlife-terminating acts that have not been explicitly requested by the\npatient....In this article, after a short description of the main results, we\nwill discuss the impact of our report to the Remmelink Committee on the Dutch\ndebate …
