The Netherlands were the first country in the world to allow euthanasia in 2002 but is the second country to widen to children under 12.
The Netherlands will now allow euthanasia of terminally ill children between the ages of one and 12, according to a report by the Guardian earlier this week.
The Dutch government said that this would only apply to up to 10 children a year and only for children who have no hope of recovery and who aren't helped by palliative care.
“The end of life for this group is the only reasonable alternative to the child’s unbearable and hopeless suffering,” said the government in a statement.
Euthanasia for adults and newborn babies with terminal illnesses was already allowed in the Netherlands, but this new rule makes the country the second in the world after Belgium to allow euthanasia of kids up to the age of 12.
Minors over the age of 12 could request euthanasia with a guardian's consent being required until 16.

Their utter selfishness will not go unpunished by the final judgement.

For children, this isn’t a “right”. Its a cost-savings measure for publicly-funded healthcare. Kill the medical problems.

Notice how they “widen” the law. That is the slippery slope. Once they get ANY kind of death by doctor, they always move on to their intended goal, everyone.

In short order they’ll be killing every kid with a birth defect, the elderly, and the politically unpopular.

Makes me think of Abortion Activists that complain about abortions in case of rape or incest when that’s less that 5% of all abortion cases
These people are going to say “this is only for terminally ill patients” but it won’t be long until it’s just knocking off teens because they are “depressed”

I see a lot of right replies so far, but you two are virtually PhD holders in demonology.
What a mess our civilization is in.

"...but it won’t be long until it’s just knocking off teens because they are “depressed”..." Of course, not before first ingesting them into the healthcare system to mutilate their sexual organs, to obtain the revenues from government funded sex change surgery.

Culture of death.*
Libertarian-It’s informed consent. Anyone thinking offing themselves should be allowed to do so. Just do it in a way where someone else doesn’t have to clean up the mess.
If someone is in a vegetative state with no instructions it’s too late. Keep them alive. An heir that wants their ‘loved one’ gone? The state may have to step in. Not so libertarian.

Just later term abortions to these monsters.

Again, this could be stopped simply by someone posing as a suicider, asking for the goods in liquid form in a paper cup, grabbing the Mengele at ringside by his nose and pouring the liquid down his throat.
"M'Lord, my client was suicidal and unable to comprehend his actions."
Two or three of those, and assisted suicide for any able-bodied person is over.
