简介
Belgium MPs have voted to give terminally ill children the right to die regardless of age.
Taking the law on euthanasia further than anywhere else.
Despite protests from the Catholic Church, there was overwhelming support in parliament for extending a ruling from 2002 which allowed mercy-killing for adults.
The legislation states that a child would have to be in a hopeless medical situation, in constant suffering, conscious and able to make the choice.
Jacqueline Herremans, the director of Belgium's Right to Die Association supports the decision.
“It is difficult to be as I said happy about a vote that concerns children who are suffering. Children who will die before they have the possibility to become adults. But I have to say I am satisfied that it was possible to have that debate.”
比利时议员投票给晚期生病儿童死亡的权利,而不管其年龄几何,这就使得安乐死法向前迈了一步。尽管基督教堂表示抗议,议会得到压倒性的支持,将2002年允许成年人安乐死的判决得以扩展。该法规定必须是治病无望的儿童,且一直遭受痛苦、昏迷和无法做出选择。比利时死亡权利协会主任Jacqueline Herremans支持这一决定。“这一投票关乎受罪儿童,做出这一决定是艰难的,但我仍对此感到高兴。那些以前死亡的儿童本有可能长成成年人,但我必须要说的是,我对能进行这场辩论感到满意。”
