Psychiatric researchers working with the National Institutes of Health have published a study regarding euthanasia practices in the Netherlands, showing a need for concern when it comes to mentally ill patients choosing assisted suicide.

Scott Kim, psychiatrist and bioethicist for the NIH and co-author of the study, commented on the “expansive law [in Belgium and the Netherlands] that doesn’t regard diagnosis as important”, leaving a door open for psychiatric patients to apply for euthanasia.

Using reviews from committees posted online in 2015, Kim’s team analyzed data from 66 Dutch case summaries of psychiatric assisted suicides that were carried out between 2011 and 2014.

Forty-four percent of the patients were between 50 and 70 years old, and 25% were between 30 and 50 years of age. The majority 70% of them were women.

Depression was the diagnosis of 55% of the patients, while others suffered from:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety
• Neurocognitive problems
• Pain without an apparent physical cause
• Eating disorders
• Extended grief
• Autism

In 25% of the cases, the euthanasia was performed with the assistance of a psychiatrists; while 1 in 5 were prescribed treatment with “unfamiliar doctors”.

Surprisingly, there were a large number of assisted suicides conducted via a mobile clinic provided by a right to die group.

In addition, 1 in 10 received no psychiatric evaluations and nearly a quarter of the cases “involved disagreement between the doctors treating the patient.”

The researchers are concerned about the fact that “over half of the cases also had personality disorders, which raises questions about ‘the stability of the expressed desires to die’.”

When it comes to assisted suicides, the Institute of Legal Medicine (ILM), the University of Oxford (UO) and the University of Zurich (UZ) published a “pilot” study in 2014 on the growing popularity of suicide tourism in Switzerland.

According to the findings, massive numbers of people from Germany, the UK and other parts of the world are coming to Switzerland because of their assisted suicide laws.

The number of assisted suicides by “tourists” in Switzerland dropped to 123 in 2008 but then doubled to 172 between 2009 and 2012.

Those found to come to Switzerland to commit suicide had previously diagnosed disorders such as:

• Paralysis
• Parkinson’s
• Multiple sclerosis
• Cardiovascular issues
• Rheumatic disease
• Various forms of cancer

And 2 years ago, Belgium senators voted to expand their euthanasia law when applying to children ages 10 to 15; deciding to remove all age restrictions for the terminally ill.

Belgium joined Luxembourg and the Netherlands as the third nation to allow legalized euthanasia for children under the age of 12.

In the decade since euthanasia was legalized in Belgium, 1,432 residents have taken their own life.
