Musk: no ‘assisted suicide’ for kids
Musk tweets his opposition to “assisted suicide” for children.
I agree with assisted suicide if someone is a mature adult, but definitely not kids. There is a reason we have an age of consent.
He was responding to a Twitter user who mentioned euthanasia legislation in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands legalizes parents euthanizing their sick children at any age
The user was referring to an announcement by the Dutch government that euthanasia is now legal there for children under the age of 12, if they are so ill that “death is inevitable” and “expected in the foreseeable future.” It also has to be “the only reasonable alternative.”
