Parents Can Soon Kill Their Sick Children in Euthanasia in Belgium

Well, they went and did it: Belgium has legalized child euthanasia. There is no age limitation.

Here is how it is supposed to work from the Washington Post story:

The child must have a terminal and incurable illness, with death expected to occur “within a brief period.” The child must also be experiencing “constant and unbearable physical suffering.” Like for adults desiring euthanasia, that diagnosis and prognosis must be agreed upon by the treating physician and an outsider brought in to give a second opinion.

The child is to be interviewed by a pediatric psychiatrist or psychologist, who must determine that the child possesses “the capacity of discernment” and certify that in writing.

After that, the parents are to consent and the child has to ask to be killed in writing. Good grief!
