I find it sad how some media outlets are phrasing this in such a link-baity manner.
Specifically, they have legalized euthanasia for children "in a hopeless medical situation of constant and unbearable suffering that cannot be eased and which will cause death in the short term."
And, "The suffering must be physical. The child must be able to express the wish to die themselves and demonstrate that they fully understand their choice, as evaluated by a doctor and a psychiatrist or psychologist. The child must also have the approval of his or her parents."
Simplifying that into "Belgium legalizes euthanasia for children" trivializes the suffering they are trying to address.
