オランダの八つの大学病院の医者が無脳症などの重く治癒不能な病気・障害を負った乳幼児の安楽死について話し合う委員会を招集すべきだと政府に求めた。無脳症といった極端な奇形で生まれる赤ん坊（世界で600人、オランダで10から15人）に対して安楽死を適応するか否かという線引きを決定しようと言うのである。既に一つの大学病院がどのような場合に乳幼児安楽死を適応すべきであるかについての文書を作製しており、バチカンがこれを非難している。医者は世界中の小児科医が一定条件の下での乳幼児安楽死に賛成していると述言う。フランスでは国民の74%、オランダでは国民の72%が乳幼児安楽死を認めて良いと考えている。

Dutch consider infant euthanasia
By Geraldine Coughlan
BBC News, The Hague
*Doctors in the Netherlands are calling for new laws allowing them to end the lives of newborn babies with intolerable and incurable illnesses.
The appeal for a committee of experts to be set up to consider the issue has been signed by doctors from the country's eight university hospitals.
The Dutch government will give its opinion over the next few months.
The Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalise euthanasia in 2002.
The proposed committee of experts would define the specific criteria that would apply to this type of infant euthanasia.
*Vatican criticism
The protocol would relate to only about 600 infants in the world - and between 10 and 15 in The Netherlands.
These children are born with extreme malformations. For instance they may have no brain.
The move has revived the debate on the controversial issue of euthanasia.
One university hospital has already drawn up a document setting out the circumstances in which euthanasia of newborn babies could be justified.
The text has been strongly criticised by the Vatican.
In the Netherlands, euthanasia can be given to people over 16, and to those over 12 in exceptional cases.
Doctors here say paediatricians worldwide are in favour of ending the lives of newborns in certain circumstances.
In France, 74% believe it should be acceptable, and in the Netherlands 72%.
