Euthanasia law fuels suffering in Holland

Thursday, 10 December 2009

Dr Elst Borst, the architect of legal euthanasia in Holland, has admitted that she may have made a mistake in pushing the law through.

Dr Borst made the comments during an interview for a new book, Redeemer Under God.
The former Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister admitted that care for the terminally-ill had declined since the law came into effect.

Dr Borst said: “In the Netherlands, we first listened to the political and societal demand in favour of euthanasia.”

She added: “Obviously this was not in the proper order.”

She also said that more should have been done to give legal protection to those who want to die naturally. the rest
