Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
BRUSSELS, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- About 30 people in Belgium request assisted suicide every month.
The Expatica Web site reported Tuesday that Wim Distelmans, chairman of the Federal Commission of Euthanasia in Belgium, believes the actual number is far greater.
"If we compare our situation with the situation in the Netherlands, we can assume that the actual number of people undergoing euthanasia is five times as high, or about 150," Distelmans said.
In 2002, doctors in Belgium were authorized to assist patients who specifically request euthanasia. The doctors can obtain the necessary drugs from a pharmacist.
