Deep dives

Former Netherlands Prime Minister and wife choose duo-euthanasia

Former Netherlands Prime Minister, Dries Van Agt, and his wife, Eugenie, died together through physician-performed euthanasia. The term being used for this is called duo-euthanasia, and this event has gained international attention. The motivation behind their decision was their desire to avoid future suffering, especially if one partner were to die naturally. This tragic incident highlights the growing acceptance and legalization of euthanasia around the world, which will likely provide momentum to the euthanasia movement in countries where it has been slower to adopt. The event also raises important questions about the ethics and implications of euthanasia, particularly as the aging population and healthcare expenses continue to put pressure on healthcare systems.
