For the first time since a change in Dutch law in 2024, a child under the age of 12 has died by euthanasia, according to a report. The death was confirmed by Health Minister Sophie Hermans as she presented the annual report of the committee that reviews all late-term abortions and medically assisted deaths of children to parliament on Monday. The report stated that the child was under 12 and had been seriously ill, but no further details were disclosed.
The child’s death has been referred to the public prosecution service, which will determine whether doctors complied with the regulations surrounding euthanasia, officials said. The committee’s report is expected to be made public shortly. Under Dutch law, parents must be consulted, the child must be suffering unbearably, and there must be no chance of recovery.
