Dutch officials euthanized a 2-year-old suffering from multiple medical conditions, and an official investigation reacted positively to the decision.
NL Times, an English-language news outlet based in the Netherlands, reported that the child, who was born at 26 weeks gestation and lived for two years afterward, was killed at the end of 2025.
But investigators concluded the euthanasia procedure was “handled well,” in the words of NL Times.
The child had brain damage, cerebral palsy, and visual impairment, according to the outlet.
The child also had “frequent and severe epileptic seizures, which were largely unresponsive to medication,” as well as mucus in the lungs.
