A two-year-old child in the Netherlands became the first under the age of 12 to be euthanized, following a change in Dutch law allowing assisted dying for severely ill children between one and 12 years old. The child, born prematurely, suffered from severe brain damage, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and breathing problems. After doctors concluded that suffering could not be adequately alleviated, the parents and doctor decided to end the life. An investigation found the doctor acted with due care.
