Abstract
Hospital ethics committees in The Netherlands have had the unique resp onsibility of developing euthanasia policies for their institutions. A lthough each policy necessarily reflects a particular facility, family resemblances necessarily remain. In the interest of ethics committees outside The Netherlands that may soon face the same challenge, two su ch policies are presented here accompanied by commentary highlighting their similarities and differences.
