Belgian Government Urges Catholic Hospitals to Commit Euthanasia
BRUSSELS, June 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Negotiators forming Belgium's new government said Friday that the right to euthanasia must exist in all hospitals. The move was made to counter opposition by some Catholic hospitals that have refused to permit assisted suicide on their premises.
The negotiators stated that every hospital must have a team of doctors prepared to apply euthanasia. Doctors will be afforded a protected status after reports that a Catholic hospital dismissed a doctor after he performed an act of euthanasia at the hospital.
