Assisted suicide for anyone over 70 who has simply had enough of life is being considered in Holland.
Non-doctors would be trained to administer a lethal potion to elderly people who ‘consider their lives complete’.
This move will push the boundaries even further in Holland that first legalized euthanasia. It would also be a world first.
Euthanasia has been available for terminally ill in Holland since 2002 in cases of ‘hopeless and unbearable suffering’ certified by two doctors.
Supporters say it would offer a dignified way to die for those over 70 who just want to give up living, without having to resort to difficult or unreliable solitary suicide methods.
The assistants who administered the deadly cocktail of sedatives would need to be certified, campaigners said.
