This story about a Japanese surgeon who is accused of “mass euthanasia” is misleading. The doctor is accused of removing respirators from dying patients with family consent. That is not euthanasia, at least as we use that term in the West, which refers to killing by some artificial means, e.g., overdose of drugs, bullet to the head, etc.
The law in Japan regarding the removal of life support is different than here. But this does not appear to be a case of mercy killing as occurs routinely in the Netherlands.
