The number of deaths by euthanasia is irrelevant. As long as they are being carried out adhering to legislation and with the appropriate levels in place to safeguard mentally or emotionally vulnerable individuals then whatever the number it is is the right number.
The comment about it becoming the standard death for terminally ill cancer sufferers means that it is doing what it was intended to do, allowing them to die a more peaceful and less painful death. Allowing cancer to run its course is horrific in the final stages!
