Grammar correction

Hi,

please help me with these 5 sentences:

  1. According to a recent opinion poll, there is growing consent to voluntary euthanasia in most European countries. (is it correct or should it be: “the consent to euthanasia in most European countries is growing ”?)
  2. In Poland, more than 60 per cent of people would agree to the adoption of regulations allowing doctors to accelerate the death of a terminally ill patient if he or she has expressed such a wish. (shouldn’t there be: “if they have expressed...”?)
  3. In the United States, 20 per cent of nurses working in intensive care units confessed to the deliberate shortening of the life of a dying person. (is “the life” correct?)
  4. Although providing assistance with one's suicide is illegal, very few cases are brought to court. (is it correct or should it be: ...with someone’s suicide...)
  5. Voluntary euthanasia shouldn't be confused with the universally approved ‘consent to death’ - that is, the giving up of compulsory, intensive therapy where a patient has no chance of surviving, or when the looking after an incurably or chronically sick person is an excessive psychological and financial burden. (shouldn’t it be: “giving up on...” and “..when looking after...”?)
Thank you for all your help.
