Iirc Belgium legalised it and now recognise that doing so was a mistake as the constraints have been changed repeatedly to a point where euthanising children is authorised and also people can be euthanised for “emotional pain”, with no underlying physical illness or life limiting condition. Sadly we cannot trust these assholes so I don’t think it should be legalised because they’ve shown time and time again given an inch they would take miles. It should be approached from the point of view of compassion for those who are caught up in this situation and their loved ones on a case by case basis. Besides the UK NHS has spent the year of lockdown pretty much euthanising swathes of elderly and infirm using midazolam (used up equivalent of 2yrs supply in 6months) in basically a cull of “useless eaters”. It’s fecking sick
I believe there was also a study, maybe 10 years back, showing that a significant portion of those “euthanized” were not informed or given an option to opt out...
