Excerpt:

The doctor who performed the Netherlands’ first case of euthanasia on a child under 12 did so with due care, the supervising committee concluded after investigating. The patient, a child of nearly 2 years who suffered from several severe medical conditions, died at the end of 2025.

      Which is why I brought up the Trolley Problem in the first place. Saying that there’s no scenario in which euthanasia can be considered is just like refusal to pull the lever in that neither decision is motivated by a desire to do good or be helpful, but only by a motivation to preserve one’s own moral standing and nothing else.

        Never said anything about the article or whether it is justified.

        I like your moral absolutism, though. Very utilitarian. Good way to run society too, just need to uh, “euthanize” the undesirables.
