Should we Copy the Dutch? The Netherlands’ Practice of Voluntary Active Euthanasia as a Model for the United States (IN: Euthanasia: the Good of the Patient, the Good of Society, ed. by R I Misbin)

Battin asks if the Netherlands can serve as a model for end-of-life practices in the United States or any other country. She first presents reasons why end-of-life practices might be modelled on those of the Dutch & then discusses significant differences between Dutch & American societies that should be considered in the discussion of active euthanasia.
