As I said (and as you have confirmed)--you had gone into one of your "say anything at all" rants:

"That whats admissable? I recall forced sterilizations for eugenic reasons were once done in this country. I know that medical euthanasia began in the Netherlands within the last generation and was justified as a merciful voluntary thing. Now most medical euthanasia acts there are initiated by doctors with no authorization."

And I demonstrated that what you said was untrue:

"These criteria concern the patient's request, the patient's suffering (unbearable and hopeless), the information provided to the patient, the presence of reasonable alternatives, consultation of another physician and the applied method of ending life.[1] To demonstrate their compliance, the Act requires physicians to report euthanasia to a review committee"

en.wikipedia.org

Now you cite a "report" from 20 years ago before the laws making doctors accountable for euthanasia came into effect in 2002!

So the truth is that your allegation regarding 2010 (not 1990) is completely unfounded and is simply you running your head once again.

"Euthanasia remains a criminal offense in cases not meeting the law's specific conditions, with the exception of several situations that are not subject to the restrictions of the law at all, because they are considered normal medical practice:

* stopping or not starting a medically useless (futile) treatment
* stopping or not starting a treatment at the patient's request
* speeding up death as a side-effect of treatment necessary for alleviating serious suffering"
