Question

How up to date is this?

"The only four places that today openly and legally, authorize active assistance in dying of patients, are:

Oregon (since l997, physician-assisted suicide only);

Switzerland (1941, physician and non-physician assisted suicide only);

Belgium (2002, permits 'euthanasia' but does not define the method;

Netherlands (voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide lawful since April 2002 but permitted by the courts since l984)."
