I know  I was gobsmacked

I thought the key thing with euthanasia was a consent thing ....so how can a child be judged to be able to give consent ?

exactly...and who would give their consent, I would never give up hope for a child of mine 

Me neither ..... .....although I can imagine it must be dreadful watching your child suffer terribly with no hope

Opponents argue children cannot make such a difficult decision.

It is 12 years since Belgium legalised euthanasia for adults.

In the Netherlands, Belgium's northern neighbour, euthanasia is legal for children over the age of 12, if there is parental consent.

Conditions for child euthanasia

  • Patient must be conscious of their decision
  • Request must be approved by parents and medical team
  • Illness must be terminal
  • Patient must be in great pain with no treatment available to alleviate their distress

Under the Dutch conditions, a patient's request for euthanasia can be fulfilled by a doctor if the request is "voluntary and well-considered" and the patient is suffering unbearably, with no prospect of improvement.

they can't that's why I don't agree with it  - neither adults if I am honest but at least adults can give consent

even with the explanation, I still can't see a day when I would be in agreement with such a thing that involves children 

No, nor do I .....but then I've thankfully  never had a terminally ill child
