Yes. Thank you, honourable committee member, for this very important question.
There have been some studies by our official bodies installed by the government who are keeping statistics of the people who receive euthanasia solely on the basis of medical grounds, and a lot of patients being granted euthanasia come from certain groups, as I mentioned. The foremost is women, young women. People with autism are on the rise. There's a very big population of autistic patients asking for and being granted euthanasia in the Netherlands.
Also worrying is what came from the British research from Professor Tuffrey-Wijne in London. She revealed that, in many cases, even intellectual disability is not an exclusion criterion anymore for receiving euthanasia. That's particularly worrying, because when you read the statements the doctors gave to justify these euthanasias, they are quite worrying.
Professor Tuffrey-Wijne, who's of Dutch descent, by the way, was quite shocked when she read those reports by the body that does the supervision over the euthanasias. She said, for example, that a lot of patients receive euthanasia not based on any medical condition or something, but mainly on the basis of their social position, of situations like demoralization or a lack of social integration in society.
