Great series and in this episode Sam is involved in the death of Leo, an AIDS patient. One of his friends, or maybe his doctor, is a Doctor De Groot. She's from Amsterdam. Sam finds a needle mark and a high dosis of morphine. Could it be an aided suicide of even murder? She consults Trevor and the Dutch Doctor... Mmmm.... aided suicide, euthanesia... It's legal in Holland, says Sam. Yes, they do things differently over there, says Trevor.
The BBC and writers should've known better or just look it up. Euthanesia can be legal in Holland when procedures are followed. The process is very controlled and scrutinized. Just sticking a needle into someone, even with consent (was it found here?) is just plain murder and as illegal as it is in the UK.
And doing something illegal in the UK that is legal in your own country will still get you into jail.
I don't know how it ends, am still watching but couldn't let is Going Dutch pass... If you don't understand something, look it up. Don't let prejudice get the better of you.
