Second Room is open to young child euthanasia
A majority of the House of representatives is open that suicide can be applied in children under 12 years old who are suffering unbearable and hopeless.
In any case the coalition parties VVD and PvdA support Friday behind the position of the Dutch society of Paediatrics (NVK) about this.
In the Netherlands is now only allowed to apply euthanasia for children over twelve years or before the first year of life. The NVK finds it, not correct '' that these choices for younger children not be possible, because they are regarded as ' wilsonbekwaam '. The Association advocates for research into the current care and regulations around euthanasia in children.
The VVD agrees and wants to needless suffering in critically ill children and their parents where possible. The Labour Party finds that, if necessary, the law should be changed. Green Left also wants young children get the possibility for euthanasia.
