On March 26, 2025 I published an article concerning the 2024 Dutch euthanasia report. My article was based on an article by Bruno Waterfield who reported for The Times on March 24 that there were 9958 reported euthanasia deaths in 2024 in the Netherlands which was up by 10% from 9068 in 2023. According to the report, Netherlands euthanasia deaths have increased by 88% since 2014.
Waterfield also reported that there were 219 psychiatric euthanasia deaths in 2024 which was up from 138 in 2023 and 115 in 2022. Euthanasia for psychiatric reasons has increased by 59% since 2023 and nearly 250% since 2020.
The growth of euthanasia and the acceptance of euthanasia for psychiatric reasons in the Netherlands is concerning. The Netherlands experience indicates that euthanasia must never be extended to psychiatric reasons.
