Opinions on a possible Law Completed Life in the Netherlands in 2017
In 2002, euthanasia was legalized in the Netherlands but only for patients who were considered to be suffering unbearable pain with no hope of a cure. A possible Law Completed Life would be designed for those who are not incurably ill, but still want help with euthanasia because they consider their life complete. A letter to parliament in October 2016 from the Dutch minister of Health stated that people who "have a well-considered opinion that their life is complete, must, under strict and careful criteria, be allowed to finish that life in a manner dignified for them”.
