Dutch euthanasia legislation |
|
Doctors in The Netherlands help thousands of people to die each year. But now the Dutch Parliament is to legalise euthanasia under strict conditions. The mother of Nelleke Dumme was terminally ill of cancer and she choose the moment to die. She explains what it meant to her mother and herself. Still many people remain opposed to the new legislation. At the Johannes Hospice they believe they offer a better solution.
