The Right to Die for Children

Assignment

Available for over a year

In Belgium, voluntary euthanasia for adults has been legal since 2002. Now legislators are considering extending the right to die to children who are terminally ill. Supporters believe this would be a logical extension of the law. Opponents say it is insanity. (Photo: A boy with a nebulizer over his mouth. Credit: Think Stock)
