The number who are accepted is fairly small. In 2016, in the Netherlands, it was about 1,500 people who requested it. They have a very detailed protocol, which takes an average of 10 months of assessments and evaluation. Of those almost 1,500, they accepted 60 of those cases after spending more time with the patients than most mental patients receive in psychotherapy in Canada over the course of 10 or 15 years. The number who request it is fairly substantial.
In those countries, the number that are accepted is low because they have this criteria and they believe there is some treatment. Whether the person wants it or not is their choice, but they feel that the state is not obliged to end the lives of people who can be treated.
