Study signals Dutch switch to drugs from euthanasia
Terminally-ill patients in the Netherlands increasingly receive drugs to render them unconscious until death, according to a study that suggests people are substituting deep sedation for legal euthanasia.
The researchers found that 1,800 people - 7.1 percent of all deaths in the Netherlands in 2005 - were drugged into so-called continuous deep sedation shortly before dying.
