@dailymail: A Dutch review committee has concluded that a doctor acted with due care in the case of a child who was nearly 2 years old when their life was ended through euthanasia. The case is the first reported under the Netherlands' framework for children between the ages of 1 and 12. The child was born extremely prematurely and had severe brain damage, cerebral palsy, visual impairment and frequent seizures that did not respond adequately to medication. The committee said the child's suffering could not be sufficiently relieved and that the doctor had consulted other physicians before proceeding. The decision was made by the child's parents and doctor after they concluded there was no reasonable alternative to end the child's suffering. The review committee found that the doctor had met the applicable standards of care. #netherlands #news #euthanasia #Science #health

This is exactly why abortion is healthcare, it prevents a child from suffering, either through neglect, the foster care system, suffering from life threatening conditions.

Never understood why a person should be in hospice for months or years suffering instead of giving them this option. Animals have more rights than us

we put down our animals when we don't want them to suffer because it's humane. I don't understand how people don't see euthanasia as the same

Parents who love their child do not let them live a live that cannot be enjoyed,only suffered. Glad we have this choice in the Netherlands.

Well my nephew was 10 and had to wait till he died from cancer. It’s a horrible sight to see a kid slowly been eaten away by this horrible disease and die in front of you. I think this is a great way to make sure we can let people go peacefully without too much pain. 🤍

This is the kind of decision that love makes. It's horrible and heartbreaking but it is what you do for someone you love. Rest in peace sweet child and may your parents have peace knowing that they made the only decision love could make!

And that's a decision they'll live with for the rest of their lives. The suffering does not end.

Anyone who judges this, must just be thankful they have never needed to make a tough choice like these parents did.
