The Dutch experience has influenced the debate on euthanasia and
death with dignity around the globe, especially with regard to
whether physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia should be
legitimized or legalized. A review of the literature reveals
complex and often contradictory views about the Dutch experience.
Some claim that the Netherlands offers a model for the world to
follow; others believe that the Netherlands represents danger,
rather than promise, and that the Dutch experience is the
definitive answer regarding why we should not make active
euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide part of our lives. Given
these contradictory views, it has become clear that fieldwork is
essential to developing a more informed opinion. Having
investigated the Dutch experience for a number of years, and after
thoroughly reading the vast literature published in English, I went
to the Netherlands for one month in the summer of 1999 to get a
feel for the local situation. I felt that this would provide the
basis on which I could better interpret the findings of the
available literature. I visited the major centers of medical
ethics, as well as some research hospitals, and spoke with leading
figures in the euthanasia policy and practice. The time spent was
extremely beneficial and enriching. I followed in the footsteps of
Carlos Gomez, who 1 published a book following one month of
extensive research in the Netherlands.
