All three guests, and their host, know the dangers of legalized euthanasia; as Mr. Buckley puts it, "There are old people in the Netherlands who live in fear and dread that that night somebody is going to stick a needle in them because they are sort of in the way." And yet here is Dr. Nuland, who is no Kevorkian or Derek Humphry: "Until about ten years ago, one could literally ask a nurse for an overdose of morphine or whatever it may be and walk to a patient's bedside and put it into an intravenous solution and sit by the patient's bed until the eventual ending had occurred. [Now] everybody has become so conscious of suits--most particularly, interestingly, the nurses. So you can't do that any more.... So we are, in a sense, phasing out something which understandably we've been doing for a long, long time."
