| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 2sR0xOuX. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Empirical data on the rate of euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and other end-of-life decisions have greatly contributed to the debate about the role of such practices in modem health care. In the Netherlands, the continuing debate about whether and when physician-assisted dying Is acceptable seems to be resulting In a gradual stabilisation of end-of-life practices. We replicated Interview and death-certificate studies done In 1990 and 1995 to investigate whether end-of-life practices had altered between 1995 and 2001. Since 1995, the demand for physician-assisted death has not risen among patients and physicians, who seem to have become somewhat more reluctant In their attitude towards this practice. |
