"Dutch Ex-Prime Minister and Wife Choose Duo Euthanasia"

Former Dutch Prime Minister Dries van Agt and his wife died by legal euthanasia, "hand in hand," in their hometown of Nijmegen at the age of 93. Both had been suffering from deteriorating health and chose to die together. Van Agt, who served as prime minister from 1977 to 1982, dedicated the later decades of his life to advocating for the Palestinian people. The couple's decision for duo euthanasia reflects a growing trend in the Netherlands, with 29 couples opting for paired death in 2022.
