People seem to forget that only the adults can start the procedure, not the physicians! And they can only procede with it as parents and physicians and social workers agree about the unbearable and incurable suffering of the child.

I don't have a clue how much pain and love parents must have if they decide that death is the best option for their child. I hope no one knows how it feels. Eddylandzaat (talk) 16:29, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please keep in mind that the English-WP is NOT my home WP! Sometimes I skip a few days. Eddylandzaat (talk) 18:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I admit that I gave the wrong references. And I can't find the right one at the moment. And seeing your way of communicating, I don't even want to look for it. Have it your way. Eddylandzaat (talk) 18:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi comparison

Verification issue

This sentence failed verification: "The protocol, as suggested by Dr. E. Verhagen, was agreed upon by the Prosecutors Office in Groningen and in July 2005 declared mandatory by the Dutch Society for Pediatrics." It is cited to a March 2005 article in the New England Journal of Medicine. First and most obviously, a March 2005 article cannot verify something that happened in July 2005. But it also doesn't indicate that the protocol was agreed upon the Prosecutors office in Groningen; it says, "With that aim, we developed a protocol in 2002, in close collaboration with a district attorney." It might be accurate if the Prosecutors office consists of a single district attorney, but that's not indicated and it does not identify Groningen as the district attorney's work area. I've flagged the sentence but believe it should be removed if not properly supported, especially with regards to the Prosecutors office in Groningen as this borders on being a potential WP:BLP issue. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree, one thing is the authors of the protocol to claim they have been working in collaboration with a prosecutor and another different and misleading info to say that the protocol was agreed upon by the Prosecutors Office. And due the other concerns it should be immediately corrected or removed. -- ClaudioSantos ¿? 13:57, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

True, two claims in one sentence. So I have split the sentence and gave each a proper source. The Banner _talk 15:43, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two different things

This article appears to be taking about two distinct things and switching between them in a very confusing manner. One second I am reading about killing infants with no hope for a happy/healthy life and the next I am reading about how Dutch law allows a 12+ person to request euthanasia for themselves.Wisnoskij (talk) 14:05, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
