Euthanasia

Belgian lawmakers have passed a bill to allow euthanasia for terminally ill children. There were 86
votes for the bill, 44 against, and 12 abstentions. It is the first nation to pass such a law. The
controversial law is only for children in great pain. There are several conditions to meet before an act
of euthanasia can take place. The child must be in full possession of their mental skills, and request
the act. An adult must consent, and a medical team must submit a psychological report. There must
also be no treatment available that would lessen the child's suffering and distress.

The law has created many opponents. They call it immoral and say children are not mature enough to
make such decisions. A man at the vote screamed "murderers" at the lawmakers. The Christian
Science Monitor argues that: "In the 21st century, when parents…worry that children are growing up
too quickly, Belgium [will] hand kids one more responsibility." It added: "Allowing children, who aren't
even old enough to drive or vote, to decide when it's time to die is one step too far." Last week, 160
doctors said the law wasn't needed as modern medicine could reduce pain.

2. What is your opinion about the Euthanasia for children?

I do not agree, since I consider that children are not yet aware of the decisions they make,
much less in something as important as life

If your child is dealing with a painful illness, would you think in that?

I would not, since I believe and consider that only GOD can decide on a person's life

Do you think that a child can decide to do that?

I think not, children are innocent beings and unaware of the decisions they make or what
they do
