End-of-Life Practices in the Netherlands under the Euthanasia Act

Coming across option 3 article I have been analysing the source and it has been observed that it is not
current. The article has been published in 2007. Since then the article has not been updated or revised.
In terms of relevance the source is related to the topic. It is very explicit and many additional diagrams,
tables and comparations have been used as a support for a better understanding of the topic. It does add
knowledge and it is answering to many questions regarding topic discussed.
Coming across the authors the article has been published by specialists, PhD graduates in programs
related to Medicine. The source has been supported by the governamental instituations related to the
topic from that country that the article has been written about.
Therefore I can relate that the source is accurate as the article can be verified through governamental
entities. The only inaccuracy I found analysing the source could be the cronological statements. At some
point it has been analised data for closer years to the year of publication then the farest years.
The purpose of the source is to make the analysis reliable being supported by governamental entities and
questionares completed by specialists on discussed topic.
