Ireland debating euthanasia for children “The accepted mantra of doctors was once ‘do no harm’,” said Mr. Volontè. “Yet the experience of Belgium is a callous rejection of this ethos, with the preferred prescription for the most vulnerable gradually becoming killing over care.” “Once a society accepts the principle of death as an acceptable course of treatment, it is only a matter of time before any restrictions placed upon that principle are diminished and removed,” he said. “Euthanizing children is the latest, tragic development of this flawed, nihilistic logic.”
