5:19 pm

5:21 pm
vaccine is made has finally found a rush is expected to be able to produce up to $6000000.00 doses monthly bring in russia close to her eve unity high in the regional party from moscow. moving to the never were you think news here for terminally ill children aged between one and 12 could soon become legal in cases where policy of care does little to ease suffering that's after the government approved plans for a change to the law an issue that's seen months of heated debate here show the country's health minister defended the move. the research shows there is a need for the possibility of active life terminations among doctors and parents of terminally ill children who are suffering hopelessly number and will die in the foreseeable future current dutch law 'd permits youthen is here for babies and children over 12 consent from parents as monday tree in those cases but not for
5:22 pm
teenagers age 16 or 17 they need only inform their guardians those children between one and 12 will need both dr parental consent if the new rules are not that ok so just to no future news here for adults was legalized in the netherlands almost 2 decades ago it accounts for a sizable amount as well 4 percent of the total number of deaths in the netherlands so out of more than 6000 cases the majority involve terminal conditions we put the government's new plans opt for debate earlier. there's 2 things that have got to find one is how long someone's got to live and the other is how unbearable the suffering really is and both of those things get watered down over time or in oregon for example terminally ill has been watered down to you know you require some medical treatment to sustain your life which means even diabetes is classified as terminally ill where people can live for decades with diabetes this is what
5:23 pm
essentially did it on the exact same salty announce the definitions of what causes what is terminally ill what is unbearable and this kind of thing and the fact they will think it down now to children as well shows exactly the slippery slope that happens when you legalize euthanasia in this kind of way it's absolutely nonsense what you say it autumn patient with having diabetes will not be helped in his suicide just because he has to die if there is a diabetes it by suffering but it's certainly not the reason and it's just it way a post a preachin is talking about i think even the suggestion to young children maybe dying is their option is just going to very very very disturbing for their children and and just provoke anxiety i think children what you have what will happen here is children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is an imperative as well feeling pressured to kill their children or allow their children to be killed i think if you don't want to have
5:24 pm
euthanasia you're not going to ask 3 you won't get it will get absolutely perfect health care in the netherlands and in oregon it is nonsense to say that it is suggested to patients that they should make a choice for death it is not one of the nicest thing for a doctor to do to help his patient die but sometimes it's the only way out it's not nonsense at all or many reported cases where patients have felt pressured you know because doctors have said you know we can't maybe we can't treat you for this and so you should think about euthanasia have you thought about euthanasia and dots of repeatedly said that to patients and they felt the pressure of it give me a quote to that article i have never read. what you set it is just something you think or you believe which is happening or maybe there have been cases where this has happened i must say that we are sacred but it is certainly not the general our outlaws practice in the netherlands how it is practiced in oregon how does present belgium in luxembourg and canada and right now i mean what we've found consistently in surveys of doctors is that people who are actually policy of care doctors do not
5:25 pm
support euthanasia they're the ones who know that pain can be alleviated euthanasia is is not the right way round everyone agrees that this is a wrong thing to do to terminate life in this kind of way you are perseverant in saying something which is not right if there are situation to alleviate pain by periods of care how doctors do that but we are talking in this kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering can not be alleviated in such cases it is much more humane to help somebody die peacefully by yes of course by the hands of a doctor by giving medication. iran has claimed a diplomatic victory over the u.s. after the united nations conventional arms embargo expired on sunday the spied washington's efforts to extend it. a momentous day for the international community which in defiance of malign u.s.
