- Title
Rights of the child: to die?
- Authors
Gormley-Fleming, Liz; Campbell, Anne
- Abstract
In this article the authors discusses a decision which Belgium made to sanction euthanasia for terminally ill children of all ages. They are critical of the decision and suggest that moral and ethical issues associated with child euthanasia impact its aim and that improvements in palliative care and increased psychological support could be an option for euthanasia.
