The authors question whether or not age plays a role in the honouring or rejection of euthanasia requests in The Netherlands, where euthanasia was legalised in 2002. They argue that qualitative case studies suggest that the current application of legal requirements of due care with regard to euthanasia (incurable and unbearable suffering, competence, and consistency of request) leads to discrimination against older people who ask for euthanasia. The authors plead for systematic research on this problem.
