In Belgium was held the world’s first child euthanasia – cable Republic

writing about the possibility of euthanasia to minors, in the presence of the doctor, was staged in Belgium in 2014. The child who has carried out euthanasia, was terminally ill.

the Chairman of the Committee of the Belgian Federal Control and Evaluation Euthanasia, Wim Distelmans, told the media that the euthanasia of a child occurred last week. Not filed, however, in what age was the patient and that he was sick. It is only known that the disease was fatal, and it was “unique”.

Belgium is a very liberal law when it comes to euthanasia.

In 2014 has been recorded, which filed for child euthanasia, physician-assisted. Minors must be in the last stage of the deadly disease, which causes pain and has no chance for recovery. Each request is studied by a special Commission.
