EuthaNEWSia (www.euthanewsia.ca)

The news feed of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies brings the news that an English translation of the 2008 report of the Dutch Review Committees is available. "According to the Dutch Law, each euthanasia case has to be reported to and reviewed by one of the (5) Regional Review Committees."

In the Editor's opinion, every person interested in end-of-life issues should read this 36 page report: The committee members explain their procedures, policies and problems, using real cases as illustrations. Each regional review committee is composed of three members: a lawyer, a physician and an ethicist. Each committee has a secretary, who is also a lawyer, with an advisory vote at committee meetings. The committees normally publish all their findings (with identifying details removed) on http://www.euthanasiecommissie.nl. The 2007 report is also available (see below.)
