  • The Netherlands is debating about this. However, it does not belong to Scandinavia: "Now that voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide for patients in great distress are legal from next year in the Netherlands, the debate is already under way about whether those who are old, sick, and tired of life should have a suicide pill available if they choose. On 14 December 2001, some 600 people gathered in a hall in Amsterdam to debate the issue of elderly suicide. The discussion centered on whether a ‘peaceful pill’ could successfully be developed scientifically, should it be freely available or on strict prescription, and whether the government ought to run a controlled trial." "On January 1 the Netherlands becomes the first nation to legalize voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, but under tight guidelines. The chief rule is that the patient must be suffering greatly with no treatments remaining available."
