Samenvatting
In this article we discuss active termination of life in children aged 1-12 years. It is expected that in 2024 active termination of life will be regulated for children between the ages of 1 and 12 who suffer unbearably, when other options to relieve their suffering are not enough. Using a case, we describe how a request for active termination of life in a child can arise and how physicians can respond to it.
