Belgium legalized euthanasia a few years ago, and has already descended into infanticide. Now euthanasia proponents in the parliament want to legally force hospitals to carry out euthanasia in their facilities even if the patient’s own doctor refuses. From the story:
The Flemish liberals do not object to physicians having the right to refuse to perform euthanasia, but in such cases the hospital itself must ensure that the patient’s request is carried out by another doctor.
Flanders is the closest culturally to the Netherlands, which is probably why euthanasia advocacy is most strident in that section of Belgium.
