It gets worse and worse.
A court in the Netherlands has ordered a nursing home to hand a woman to his family so they could have her euthanized–even though she apparently didn’t want to leave the nursing home. From the NRC.NL story (Google translation):
A care of Vlissingen (Flushing), the Netherlands was forced Tuesday to let a 80 year old woman in the company of his family to obtain euthanasia, even though it n was no longer able to express his will. The woman, whose name was not revealed, was euthanized Wednesday through the end of life Clinic that particular load cases where the attending physician refuses to accede to the request of his patient euthanasia .
The decision to order the return of the woman in the hands of his family was taken at the request of the latter by a judge in chambers of Utrecht, after a new hearing for interim relief held in emergency Tuesday afternoon. Initially, the family had seized the judge in Middelburg, getting a first legal victory against Ter Reede and the association that manages it, WVO, argued that the inability of the woman to express her will, in reliance on the judgment of the treating physician and a pyschologue.
The judge refused to order an investigation into the woman’s ability to make such a decision, as requested by WVO.
This is known as giving the benefit of the doubt to killing instead of living.
