Swedish doctors oppose euthanasia. From the story:
84% of Swedish doctors say they would never consider helping a patient die, even if the patient asked for it and it was legal. 54% of Dutch doctors say that they have helped someone die. Euthanasia is legal in the Netherlands. 16 000 doctors from 7 countries took part in the survey and Swedish doctors together with their Italian counterparts were the most sceptical.
No one can say the Swedish medical resistance to turning killing into a “medical treatment” is based on religion: The Swedes are just as secular as the Dutch.
