Perhaps the title should be "15% of terminal patients choose assisted suicide". Presuming 35% of people who die, do so in need of palliative care [1] -- it is only a further one in seven who seek assisted suicide? In this light, I'd expect the number of deaths to be higher than 5%. Also, isn't it silly to report cause of death as suicide, when it was cancer or some other condition that would soon take their life regardless?
