A first: A child comits euthanasia in Belgium.

Dr. Distelmans confirmed today that the first case of a child euthanasia has taken place in Belgium. Little is known as the case was held outside the public eye. What is known is that the child had a terminal disease and personally requested the euthanasia. It has not been made public what age the child was. The dossier is in Dutch which would indicate that it happened in one of the hospitals in the flemish speaking part of Belgium.

Why don't we go back to a simpler time and legislate again that suicide is a criminal act.
