Netherlands to Expand Euthanasia to Terminally Ill Children of All Ages

This is just what I’ve been thinking: the government needs to kill more children.

The Guardian:

The Netherlands is to widen its euthanasia regulations to include the possibility of doctors assisting in the death of terminally ill children aged between one and 12.

The new rules would apply to between five and 10 children a year who suffer unbearably from their disease, have no hope of improvement and for whom palliative care cannot bring relief, the government said on Friday.

They’ve already been doing it in Belgium

“The end of life for this group is the only reasonable alternative to the child’s unbearable and hopeless suffering,” it said in a statement.

The Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalise euthanasia under strict conditions in 2002.

…

The Netherlands will not be the first to allow doctors to assist in the death of children of all ages. Belgium has allowed it since 2014.

They’re doing it in Canada too now.

In Canada, if you can’t afford health care, they just kill you. Which is friggin’ hilarious.

I have it on good authority that the slippery slope is just a fallacy

I wish the Misfits would write a song about how in Canada they just kill you if you can’t pay your medical bills.
