Why do American politician always use wrong statistics when they want to bash Holland. Is this from the statistics agency from FOX news again?!
According to Rick Santorum is 10% of deaths "caused" by euthanasia, while the proper statistics say it's only 2%. He's make the statement that 50% of these euthanasia cases is not out of free will (something that is simply illegal and I cannot imagine that GPs all over the country are evil killing machines).
Because of this all old Dutch people are afraid of the hospital and take their care in another country…. So how come that the health care system is stretched to the max with the current after war generation, aren't they suppose to get their healthcare somewhere in Europe without euthanasia rights?!
"Obamacare leads America down the same road" – a right, of course, free (or accessibel to all) healthcare is evil and leads to killing sprees under the patients.
What a joke if this is the only way you can win elections….

Erik Meijer prof in cloud programming at +TU Delft: University of Technology (And you might know him from +Lambda Lecture Series) gave his opinion about our current usage of techniques. According to him we still live in the stone ages and are to afraid to really adopt to new technologies available.
Another interesting statement: books are gone within 5 years!

Really awesome new DNA sequencers from Oxford Nanopore
1 machine that can sequence a human genome in 15 minutes but the real eye catcher is a sequencer the size of a USB thumbdrive. Pure awesomeness!
Like the quotes from the article:
“It sent shock waves through this meeting,” says Chad Nusbaum of the Broad Institute, who saw the machine presented at the #AGBT genomics meeting in Marco Island, Fl. “No one is talking about much else right now.
