While the debate on euthanasia had been relatively quiet in Belgium in the last period, it seems to be coming to the fore once again following a number of specific cases that have made the news.
For instance, there was a man – not yet very old – who was terminally ill and who opted for euthanasia. The week before the event, he organised a grand farewell party for all his friends, which of course was widely reported in the press with photos and interviews. He stated explicitly that any negative feelings his friends might have regarding his decision left him completely cold and that this was their business.
