CNN) -- A controversial bill that would extend the right to request euthanasia to children suffering terminal illnesses and adults with dementia cleared a vote in a Belgian Senate committee Wednesday.

The panel voted 13-4 to allow minors to seek euthanasia under certain conditions, the communications director for the Senate, Patrick Peremans, told CNN.

The vote is one stage in a legislative process -- the bill must clear other hurdles before it becomes law.

Belgium passed legislation in 2002 allowing voluntary euthanasia for adults.

Little by little. First for the elderly. Then for adults. Then for children. Next: for babies? Oh, they already have that. It’s called fourth trimester abortion.

Belgium: a country so poor, oppressive, and miserable that even children want to kill themselves.

That is just the problem, the modern Belgian’s have forgotten that killing the too old, too young, not ‘pure’ enough, the disabled was one of the reasons their grandfathers hated the German’s for.

Like most of the rest of Europe, Belgium will be Muslim in another generation or so. Then these laws will be used to eliminate infidels.
