Replication Data for: How Intrinsic and Extrinsic Religiosity Explain Differences in Attitudes and Behaviour of Euthanasia of Dutch Protestants

However, when we focus on Protestants in the Netherlands, the connections are more complex. On the one hand, some Protestants are fiercely opposed, whereas others were at the very core of the pro-euthanasia movement.

Research also shows a relatively high acceptance and incidence of euthanasia among Protestants. The literature did not address the causes of diversity in Protestant attitudes towards euthanasia, nor how these differences affect euthanasia behaviour. To fill both gaps, we first conjecture that the diversity in Protestant attitudes towards euthanasia can be explained by differences in intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity.
