Belgian Federal Evaluation Commission on Euthanasia produces 6th report

Le Soir:  Since the implementation of the law decriminalizing euthanasia, the increase in the number of deaths with dignity, according to the etymology of the term, is constant. The concept of Euthanasia is more and more accepted in every day’s attitudes: “… the significant increase in the number of euthanasia cases compared with the previous report can likely be explained by the gradual dissemination of information relating to decisions at the end of life to the public and doctors” says the Commission.
In 2013 1807 cases have been reported, 1454 from Flanders and from Wallonia 353.
