By a vote of 86-44, the Belgian House of Representatives has approved a bill to extend euthanasia to children. The bill had previously passed the Belgian Senate. The law will apply to children who have a terminal and incurable illness, are near death, and suffering “constant and unbearable physical” pain. Parents and health care professionals must agree, and a paediatric psychiatrist or psychologist must certify that the child has the capacity to discern that being killed is the ‘best choice.’ [The Guardian]
