We are a multidisciplinary fellowship researching threats to life at its beginning and natural end.

Euthanasia, psychological suffering, and Belgian medicine

Here is an article by Michael Cook that asks the question: “Is euthanasia for psychological suffering changing Belgian medicine?” Here is Cook’s concluding paragraph: “It’s clear now that euthanasia for psychological suffering is out of control. Only about 40 of Belgium’s 2,000 euthanasia deaths each year are psychiatric patients. But it appears that the controls which are supposed to limit this to the most extreme cases are no longer working. Wim Distelmans is a euthanasia radical. If he is worried, the rest of Belgium should be terrified.”
