>That reminds me of something also. Wasn't it the dutch who euthanize patients at a certain age, when they become a burden on the health system?

I hope you forgive me at smiling a little at this. No, 'the dutch' don't do that. They also don't smoke soft- or harddrugs 50% of their time, their gardens are not crowded with tulips and wooden shoes are hard to find here.

I guess I have the same type of misunderstandings in my thoughts about the US; I've never been there, and met only few americans personally.

The dutch have their own problems and faults, but at least I can reassure you that people are not euthanized like that here.
