>>>I heard that lethal injections for old people are available in the Netherlands. Is that true?

>>It does not have anything to do with 'old'. Lethal injections are avialable under the practise of euthnesia. It essentially means that if a person is suffering beyond what is reasonable and there is no hope for recovery a person can request 'Euthnesia'. Before that request is forfilled, at least two independed physicians must be consulted and the person in question must be able acknowledging the request.

>>Though this is practised on a lot of people with cancer, it also has been applied to someone who was mentally suffering (don't ask me about the details). The rules are very strict. So no you cannot take your mother in law to practise euthnesia... NO, NO, you can't

>And so Walter, with the permission of the 'life owner' and three doctors, murder of a human being is approved by your country.

BTW... murder is killing a person without the permission of that person... else it is euthnesia or suicide.
