The industrialized country identified as permitting and practicing euthanasia is the Netherlands. The country has established legal frameworks that allow for voluntary euthanasia under specific circumstances, making it one of the first nations to formally legalize the practice. This reflects a broader acceptance of euthanasia in Dutch society, where it is seen as a choice for individuals facing unbearable suffering.
Euthanasia is considered a good option for some individuals because it can provide relief from unbearable suffering, allow for a dignified end to life, and give individuals autonomy over their own death.
