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. Passing through
death into eternal life is also God's gift. It is for God to
determine the time."
