Famous for cheese, tulips, and being the birthplace of Heineken beer, the Netherlands have yet another thing to add to their list. The Netherlands is set to become the second European country that will allow parents to kill their children. This is set in their new expansions of the “Late Maternity Abort and Life Termination [of] Newborns” law. By expanding existing laws, the Dutch government will allow parents to euthanize children ranging in age from one to twelve in post-pregnancy abortion efforts.

According to the National Pulse,
The Dutch government will expand pre-existing euthanasia rules first introduced in 2002, effectively expanding post-birth abortions at the discretion of medical staff and healthcare providers.
The amendments were added to the “Law Termination of Pregnancy and Life Termination of Newborns Regulations (LZA/LP),” which permitted the “termination” of children “suffering hopelessly and unbearably,” and who are “expected to die in the foreseeable future.” The law, which was restricted to up to one year, now permits children of all ages in what effectively amounts to post-birth abortion.
The Dutch government took the decision to expand on the current rules to include all ages in order to remove practitioners’ reservations about either aborting viable humans or euthanizing infants up to one year old. The legislation has been introduced, according to the government’s published report, to “remove th[e] reluctance as much as possible,” of doctors undertaking the procedure.

While the Dutch Minister for Health, Welfare, and Sport, Ernst Kuipers stated it was a complex subject, the decision to move forward with this law was reached to help “children, their parents, and their practitioners.” They highlight using this law for those who are “hopeless and [unbearably] suffering,” though medical issues are not a death sentence. Using them and the language around them to create laws that allow parents to kill their children because they no longer want to care for them is insane and how will that line be drawn even though it shouldn’t be? Will parents or doctors be able to use the law to end the life of a 10-year-old because they are tired of dealing with them and find caring for them unbearable? What happens when doctors no longer want to treat a child and a parent is left childless due to doctors deciding to euthanize the child? This is completely inappropriate for a country to decide and enforce.
