Why did the Netherlands make euthanasia legal?

Answer 1

A person should have the ultimate control over their own life. Many people would choose doctor assisted euthanasia if it was available. In fact, many do. Many dying people have asked a family member or partner for that kind of help and many have honored that request. It has been performed for centuries where family members and family doctors have honored the wish of a dying relative or patient to help end their suffering. The right to die should be as respected as the right to live. It should be a matter of personal choice and should be carried out with all the support necessary to make one's last hours comfortable and safe, and one's passing peaceful. It is widely available in some areas.

Answer 2

Euthanasia is technically illegal in the Netherlands unless it falls under specific guidelines set out by the law. If euthanasia is performed and the specific circumstances are not met, it is considered illegal.
