AMSTERDAM, (CWNews.com) - 2-Apr-2002 A new law went into effect in the Netherlands on Monday, allowing doctors to legally kill their terminally ill patients.
The European country became the first nation in the world to formally legalize the practice, even though prosecutors had unofficially looked the other way when doctors killed their patients or helped them kill themselves. Now proponents of euthanasia want the law to be expanded to allow the prescription of fatal dosages of pharmaceuticals to elderly people who are not terminally ill.
The Netherlands passed the law one year ago and became
an impetus for other countries to begin debate over passing their own laws
legalizing euthanasia. Belgium passed a similar law last year and Switzerland
and France have discussed it. Last week, L'Osservatore Romano, the official
Vatican newspaper, reiterated the Church's opposition to euthanasia, calling it
"a crime against life."
