Minor becomes 1st to be granted euthanasia in Belgium
A 17-year-old has committed doctor-assisted suicide in Belgium, becoming the first minor to do so under a 2014 law allowing euthanasia for people of all ages. The federal euthanasia commission said the minor was "suffering unbearable physical pain" and doctors used palliative sedation. Belgium is the only country in the world that allows euthanasia for minors of all ages.
