For the first time in the Netherlands, euthanasia was legally performed on a two-year-old child with severe disabilities who did not have a terminal illness. The child's life was ended despite being unable to express their will. This case was reported in the annual review of the Dutch committee that oversees late-term termination of life and medical assistance in dying for children.
