THE HAGUE: Lawmakers held a last-minute debate yesterday before finally pushing through a euthanasia bill which experts claim makes the Netherlands the first country in the world to legalise mercy killing.
The legislation will formalise what has been common practice for more than two decades and gives doctors protection from the threat of prosecution.
A vote in the 150-seat Lower House of Parliament is expected to be held next Tuesday.
After years of seeking consensus among the political parties, the bill was expected to pass easily and the measure is expected to be implemented early next year. =============================================================== Euthanasia "We accept human life as God's gift to us.
