Well, all I can say is that despite reading Dutch media on a daily basis, I don't recall any controversial cases of euthanasia, which suggests that there is no wide-spread abuse of the system. As for the Dignitas case, it would appear that the Swiss rules have been flouted, which clearly is unacceptable. If that story is true, the I would hope that the guilty party faces a stiff penalty. However, I don't think that an isolated case of abuse should be reason to deprive people of the right of decide their own fate, and I do belief that it is possible to build enough safeguards into the system to ensure that vulnerable people don't fall victim to it.
