[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9262352, member: 27385"] I just saw this reading about Bob, the Red Mill Founder and not sure how I feel about it.

Dries van Agt and his wife, Eugenie, were both 93. They were buried together on Thursday. “He died hand in hand with his beloved wife Eugenie van Agt-Krekelberg, the support and anchor with whom he was together for more than 70 years and whom he always continued to refer to as ‘my girl’,” The Rights Forum, a human rights charity he founded, said on Friday. The couple met as students at Nijmegen. The Rights Forum described him as “idiosyncratic” and said that Van Agt and his wife were very ill, but “couldn’t live without each other”. A Dutchman of Catholic stock, van Agt served as prime minister between 1977 and 1982. He was popular for his humour and for riding with Tour de France cyclists. He was branded a “[URL='https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/8408061/US-Jesuits-agree-103-million-abuse-payout.html']Jesuit[/URL]” and a “mystic” by political rivals. “Double euthanasia” is rare but has been on the rise in the Low Countries, which have some of the most liberal euthanasia laws in the world. There were 26 there in 2020 and 58 in 2022, out of a total of 9000 cases of euthanasia. Euthanasia and assisted suicide have been legal in the Netherlands since 2002 under specific conditions. Jozef van der Heijden, a former MP from van Agt’s party, and his wife Gonnie died in a double euthanasia in 2016. Constance de Vries of the Euthanasia Expertise Center told De Volkskraant, a broadsheet newspaper: “Many people dread the prospect of having to continue on their own, especially when they are 80 and no longer so flexible.” [/QUOTE]
