Professor Theo Boer:

To add the Dutch numbers to that, in the 9,000 cases of euthanasia per year, it really is 50:50. Men and women are very much the same. When it comes to violent suicides, as Herr Luley said, it is 70% men, whereas when it comes to assisted suicide with the help of a psychiatrist or euthanasia expert centre, it is 70% women. That corroborates Mr. Luley's impression.
