Abstract
Through amendment of the burial act and the both 1984 and 1994 the Netherlands Supreme Court decisions. Euthanasia in Holland has attracted many people's attentions in the world states. Both one famous Dutch lawyer and one same Dutch physician were invited for reporting the Euthanasia situations in the Netherlands at the University of Manitoba, Canada, 1992. On September 17-18,1992,a conference was held at the University of Manitoba on the theme, Euthanasia in the Netherlands : A Model For Canada? This time, I have replaced a conference theme in Canada with the theme, Euthanasia in the Netherlands : A Model For World States. The points at issue are four. : (1) Is Euthanasia the medical measure of last resort? (2) In respect of patient's Autonomy. (3) Is the mental suffering a necessary condition of euthanasia and assisted suicide? (4) May the request of euthanasia and assisted suicide be permitted before the terminal condition? I approve of the former two ((1) and (2)) points at issure, but could not admit of the latter two ((3) and (4)) points at issue.
