Children who are terminally ill may legally kill themselves in Belgium, with parental approval of course. This is due to the Belgium senate approving to extend the availability of euthanasia from adults to children. Here in the United States, the very thought of an adult, let alone a child, seeking euthanasia is frowned upon, despite what illness they are currently dealing with. The act of “mercy killing” is seen as another form of suicide to many pro-life advocates. However, is it really “pro-life” to let a terminally ill or already dying child, teenager, adult, or elderly person continue to suffer? {To edit and revise later}
