    Citation Excerpt :

    Seven repeated requests for euthanasia were counted. This study suggested that requests for euthanasia were not rarer in France than in Belgium or Netherlands where euthanasia is legal [14]. In this article, we explore the “raw wording” used by patients who request euthanasia or assisted suicide in a country where it is forbidden.
