Excerpt:
The doctor who performed the Netherlands’ first case of euthanasia on a child under 12 did so with due care, the supervising committee concluded after investigating. The patient, a child of nearly 2 years who suffered from several severe medical conditions, died at the end of 2025.

From what I see, the Netherlands are not at any risk where you’d need to worry about it.

Canada has a big problem where some medical providers are essentially offering noting but medically assisted dying to some disabled patients who could do just fine with some funding for accessibility

Proposal that didn’t get trough: pensioneers who feel their life is complete
Sorry, but this is assisted suicide and not what I meant. Here the persons decide for themselves that they don’t want to live anymore. It is not very much different than them jumping off a cliff.
The OP here is about parents deciding for their newborn suffering child which is not able to decide for themselves.
Don’t bring “completed life” into this, it’s a completely different discussion
