Her mother didn't think it was a great idea. Which age do you draw the line for - suicide at 40 or voluntary euthanasia at 50? Not much difference really is there? There is a world of difference between someone who is only depressed with life taking their life (altho I believe anyone who is an adult has the right to do so, but I would counsel them to seek counseling first to make sure that is really what they want to do), and an adult who has an incurable illness not wishing to prolong the inevitable. One's age doesn't matter, as long as one is of sound mind and of legal majority... Death is part of lifethat's the bottomline fact, and you can't get around it. The only control one has -- or SHOULD have -- is whether one shuffles off this mortal coil with a modicum of dignity, or is forced to endure the torture of progressive debility and pain, draining the financial, physical, and emotional resources of loved ones. If a person WANTS to endure all that, fine...but they should have the CHOICE to opt not to... If I have a dog that is suffering from cancer, there comes a time when it is felt that it is CRUEL to keep that animal alive, and that the best thing for the pet, the KINDEST thing to do, is to put it to sleep...

I remember a few days before my Dutch grandfather died, he'd gestured to my mother (his daughter), because he was then incapable of speaking, other than gasping a word or two -- he gestured for her to get his gun and shoot him; needless to say, my mother didn't...but how much more dignified for my dying grandfather if his doctor could have given him an injection to 'put him to sleep' BEFORE my grandfather had gotten to the point where he no longer wnated to take another breath... You could see it in his eyes, that he thought continuing on this level of existence was beyond his endurance, and more than he wanted to bear...or subject his family to... BTW, when my mother shook her head 'no' to her father's gesture, he gathered enough strength to speak -- I think perhaps he thought she hadn't understood -- and gasped his request, finishing with the word 'burden'...he wanted to die at that moment so that he wouldn't be a burden (which he had often stated, when he was well, was something he considered a fate worse than death)... He died two days later, suffering not only physical pain but emotional agony...how I wish something could have been done way before then, to make his passing less painful on BOTH levels for him... My grandfather was more a father to me than my own father...I loved him deeply, and my desire to 'hasten' his passing had nothing to do with inheriting anything he left behind...to this day, I wish he was alive. But BECAUSE I love him so dearly, I wish we could have given him the same injection my mother gave a dog in the same condition, because it's considered KIND to put a dog to sleep when it's suffering... It is only right that doctors be authorized to allow those for whom there is only suffering to slip away quietly. There HAS been a law in the Netherlands for years, which allowed those who were suffering from terminal illnesses to sign a contract with their doctors, authorizing the doctor to euthanize them at a certain point in the futureit was always up to the patient and the doctor, never the family members. I think what the furor is currently about is an ALTERATION in that law, which will now allow doctors to make that decision even if there hasn't been a prior contract with the patient...

[CTRL] Dutch to legalise euthanasia-
-Caveat Lector- Tuesday August 10, 10:52 PM Dutch to legalise euthanasia-even for 12-year-olds By Karen Iley AMSTERDAM, Aug 10 - The Netherlands plans to make history by legalising mercy killings in a controversial government bill that would also make children as young as 12 eligible for euthanasia. The bill, delivered to the lower house on Monday, proposes immunity from criminal prosecution for doctors provided they follow strict guidelines when performing euthanasia. The law would also apply to incurably ill young children, so long as the parents agree. In exceptional circumstances, a doctor could perform euthenasia even without parental consent. "In the case of 12 to 15 year olds the consent of the parents or guardian is required, but in the event of refusal... a minor's request may nevertheless be met if the doctor is convinced this would prevent serious detriment to the patient," the Justice and Health (LSE: sUB44.L - news) ministries said. The bill also recognises for the first time the validity of written requests to die. Both the Voluntary Euthanasia Society (NVVE) and the Royal Dutch Medical Association (KNMG) welcomed the development, which removes already liberal Dutch policy from a legal grey area. "After more than 25 years of discussion there will be legislation for death at one's own request. This is a significant step in the right direction," the NVVE said. Political opposition was expected from the main opposition Christian Democrats and small Calvinist parties. But provided the three government parties unite behind the bill, its passage through parliament should be smooth. The Dutch have tolerated mercy killings for years, but right-to-die campaigners and doctors have long pressed for immunity from criminal prosecution for doctors. In 1997, a doctor was charged with murder after allegedly ignoring euthanasia guidelines when he injected a patient with a fatal dose of insulin. The KNMG said cases of terminally-ill children requesting death were few and the vital dialogue and relationship between doctor, patient and family would remain. "The doctor will do his utmost to try to reach an agreement between patient and parents," said Karin Hagelstein, KNMG spokeswoman. "If there is no unanimous agreement, then it is the doctor's duty to fulfill the wishes of the patient." "Doctors find that children who have gone through such a long and tragic illness are capable of making their own decisions. A child which has entered the last terminal phase can be very clear about what he or she wants. They've seen a lot, they're tired. If parents don't want to cooperate it is the doctor's duty to respect the wishes of their patient," she said. In all cases, doctors must adhere strictly to guidelines. The patient, who must be facing unbearable suffering, must make the request on a voluntary, well-considered and sustained basis. Their must be no reasonable alternative and the doctor must give advice on the patient's situation and consequences. The doctor must also consult at least one other independent physician who also agrees with the due care requirements, and the euthanasia must be performed with due medical care. Regional committees, set up in 1997, will continue to review whether these criteria have been met. The NVVE, while welcoming the bill as a whole, criticised some of the criteria as either too vague or too tough and said doctors therefore remained vulnerable to prosecution. The only previous attempt to legalise euthanasia was in September 1996 when Australia's Northern Territory approved medically-assisted euthanasia only to see the law revoked in March 1997.
