Moreover, people believe that legalizing physician-assisted suicide will open doors and lead to a slippery slope that will ultimately devalue the value of human life and bring pressure on doctors on terminally ill patients to request assisted suicide. The evidence, however, tells a different story. A Dutch research article found that those who most often requested suicide were terminal cancer patients (15%) and those who had a terminal progressive neurological disorder (8%) (Onwuteaka-Philipsen et al., 2010). The same article showed that among all patients seen by these doctors, only 7% requested assisted suicide/euthanasia and approximately 2.4% of patients actually received euthanasia/assisted suicide (Onwuteaka-Philipsen et al ., 2010).

The study showed that doctors are generally very conservative in allowing PAS, as two-thirds of those who requested euthanasia/PAS did not receive
