That Dutch show (oops!) in question televised a recent case of euthanasia in Holland and I seriously doubt that this docu was the one that was broadcast in Denmark. In addition, if you are referring to a sort 'suicide hotel' in HOLLAND (and not in Denmark): to my knowledge, such a 'hotel' simply doesn't exist in my country; I've really never heard of such a truly remarkable enterprise. But it's certainly true that if you really want terminate your life, it won't be a big problem to find legal and medical assistence in Holland.
