Euthanasia bill Austria leaves questions open

Not less than 43 stories about the euthanasia of a family member or a close friend. That’s what is in the new book by the ethicists Boer and Groenewoud. A funeral director gave them the hint of compiling this volume in which bereaved people tell about the death of a nearby person.

Four out of ten Swedish doctors are positive about legalising euthanasia. Every third may even give the lethal dose himself. The Swedish Christian daily Dagen reports this.

There is likely going to be a referendum on the legalisation of euthanasia in Italy. Over 750.000 people have signed an initiative for that referendum.
