Last year 80 people received euthanasia in the CSC, 62% more than a year earlier
Euthanasia was 120, and the year before, 74.
Last year, 80 people received euthanasia in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, 62 per cent more than the previous year.
Furthermore, according to data provided on Monday in the Basque Parliament by the Committee on Guarantees and Evaluation of the Basque Country on euthanasia, 120 applications for euthanasia were registered last year and 74 in 2024.
In its appearance before the Health Committee at the request of EH Bildu, the Basque Country's Committee on Guarantees and Evaluation has highlighted the increase in demand and euthanasia in recent years.
This Body reports that 75 per centof the accumulated applications are authorized , 13 per cent are rejected and 1 per cent are rejected. On the other hand, 14.4 per cent of the cases indicate that the applicant has died during the proceedings.
10.8% of the applications relate to people who left their previous instructions for receiving euthanasia, most of whom completed the advance wills document and are people with dementia.
The average age of applicants is 74 years , 51% are men and 49% are women. The most common basic diseases are neurological and oncological diseases in the same percentage.
53% of euthanasia is performed in the hospital, but the doctor allows euthanasia to be performed at the home or socio-health centre where the person is hospitalized.
In all cases of euthanasia registered so far in the CSC, he has become a health professional, so theoption of giving himself has not been used so far.
