Why does it seem to be the case that the problem is much worse where there is euthanasia on the table, with the medical profession involved, the numbers seem to be much higher? They have already increased a lot in places like Oregon and so on, but it does seem to be the case that euthanasia takes it much further. Why does Professor Watson think that is the case? Is it because if doctors are seen to be involved and the feeling is that we can trust doctors?
