The Dutch Association of Pediatrics (NVK) wanted some research and develop a foothold.

AN OPTION

For babies there is already a system for euthanasia and children covered under the terms euthanasia over 12 years. On the intermediate group is much debate. A majority of the House is open to it to life termination is possible in children aged one to twelve years.

There is one option. A doctor can invoke "force majeure in the sense of a state of emergency." Thereof may exist as for example pain in critically ill children really does not work.

For Schippers said research has earmarked almost 4 tons. The cost of the support are not yet clear. It is matched with doctors federation KNMG and is expected to be operational in 2016.
