Three-quarters of Dutch open to euthanasia with their partner
A new study has revealed that three-quarters of Dutch individuals with a partner are open to the idea of duo-euthanasia, provided the right circumstances are in place. The research, prompted by the high-profile case of former Prime Minister Dries van Agt and his wife, Eugenie, who both chose duo-euthanasia nearly a year ago, indicates a shift in societal views. The findings show that 18.4 percent of respondents would wholeheartedly approve of duo-euthanasia, while 53.4 percent are potentially open to it. Among Christians, 58.6 percent accept all forms of euthanasia, including duo-euthanasia, while the acceptance rate rises to 82.7 percent among non-Christians. Furthermore, Christians tend to distinguish between individual euthanasia and duo-euthanasia, with 15.5 percent deeming individual euthanasia acceptable but not duo-euthanasia.
