The Chabot case: analysis and account of Dutch perspectives.
The aims of this essay are twofold: to point out the main problems of the Chabot precedent and to report the findings of a fieldwork in the Netherlands during which some experts were asked to voice an opinion regarding the psychiatrist's conduct and the legal precedent. During the summer of 1999, twenty-eight interviews with some of the leading authorities on the euthanasia policy were conducted in the Netherlands. Multiple reasons were mentioned to either condone or condemn Chabot's practice.
