The same bill would offer the right to die to adults with early dementia.
''It is strange that minors are considered legally incompetent in key areas, such as getting married, but might (be able) to decide to die,' Catholic Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard testified."DailyMail

Lem, is this Cedarford bait? I don't think he reads here.
Of course, just living in Brussels could cause you to commit suicide.
Let it burn, it'll be easier to take over their country later.
Belgium considering whether to allow sick CHILDREN to end their own lives
What about sick countries?
What could possibly go wrong with this?
Well, other than awful horrible vile adults urging children to agree to kill themselves.
For the children!
Ask any secularist. He'll tell you secularism is the last and highest stage of man's development....and then everyone dies. Go ahead, ask Montana Urban Schmendrik or that creature that calls itself ARM, they'll tell you and tell you how STOOPID you are dragging behind the times the way you do!
This is not an easy choice. Just like an adult, a child will suffer for how long before it is more compassionate and loving to let them die. I don't see any reason to champion either choice.
Also in that linked Daily Mail article:
'The principle of euthanasia for children sounds shocking at first, but it's motivated by compassion and protection,' said John Harris, a professor of bioethics at the University of Manchester. 'It's unfair to provide euthanasia differentially to some citizens and not to others if the need is equal.'
"movitated by compassion and protection" and in the interest of fairness -- pretty much covers just about anything on offer from the left these days.
Youthanasia.
Just like an adult, a child will suffer for how long before it is more compassionate and loving to let them die.
But what they’re pushing for is not the right to just let someone die, they want to be allowed to put people down by, say, stopping their heart with an injection.
As the archbishop mentioned in the article points out, there’s an alternative, namely palliative sedation, which lets a person die naturally.
Well, if 18 years old can make a decision to end their lives, why not youth under 18. After all, this is the natural order of radical left wing Marxism.
If only those imperfect children who are sick, sick, sick, could end their lives, Obamacare wouldn't cost so much.

Don't know much C4 issue interests.

I am sure the EU would love it if Greece drank a big cup of hemlock.
I'd be interested in seeing how many of the children encouraged to join the euthanasia program have red hair. My guess is that it will turn out to be a disproportionate number.
I sort of like the Catholic understanding of suicide. It's a sin and self-murder (and no subsequent opportunity to repent) but anyone who does it is, by definition, not in their right mind.
I would think that anyone, child or adult, who was mentally competent to make the choice to die, would be far too well to justify doing it. Do they have a requirement that the person choosing euthanasia be terminally ill? Or just in pain and very unhappy?
There is something to the statement that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
And then you've got those who view the lives of the handicapped as not worth living. Who really would decide for them, if they could.
Ignorance is Bliss wins.
