cw: #transphobia, #audism

In #Belgium, doctors euthanised #NathanVerhelst, a 44-year-old trans man, after his gender affirming surgeries went poorly & he was rejected by his family. The same doctor previously euthanised deaf twins afraid they wouldn’t be able to talk with each other: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Fbelgian-man-dies-by-euthanasia-after-failed-sex-change-operation-8851872.html

Belgium has since become the first country to allow #ChildEuthanasia of *any* age: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/17/health/belgium-minor-euthanasia/index.html

#Colombia allows children as young as 7 to make the decision to be euthanised: https://latinamericanpost.com/20090-colombia-has-regulated-euthanasia-for-children-and-adolescents

While the #Netherlands considers children 13 and older able to consent to #euthanasia, the Dutch government is advancing legislation to allow children from 1-12 years old to be allowed to choose to die: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54538288
