With all due respect to this family and to the way they have overcome their problems, this plea is totally irrelevant. Euthanasia is NOT about letting children die if they suffer from a serious condition, but about giving the RIGHT (not the obligation) to the CHILD (not the parents) to end his/her life when experiencing insufferable pain. The law foresees MULTIPLE sessions between child and psychologists, and only if all psychologists and the parents agree that the child’s wish is well considered and the child is able to fully understand the consequences, can it be put into practice. The child is ALWAYS in the driver seat, so the phrase in this video ‘… she could have been euthanised » is totally FALSE and misleading. NOBODY can be obliged to ‘undergo’ euhanasia.

la loi en belgique n’impose a personne l’euthanasie, mais donne le droit de le faire si on veut.
personne est obligé.
