By Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
The Politico published a pro-euthanasia article by Claudia Chiappa and Lucia Mackenzie on December 29, 2024. Chiappa and Mackenzie are suggesting that the legalization of euthanasia is inevitable but when they interview Theo Boer, a former member of a Netherlands euthanasia review committee he actually tells them that the expansion of euthanasia, once legal is inevitable. Boer states:
I have seen no jurisdiction in which the practice has not expanded, not one single jurisdiction,
By imposing really strict criteria we can slow down the expansion … but they will not prevent the expansion.
