In The Netherlands, neonatal euthanasia has become a legal option and the Groningen Protocol contains an approach to identify situations in which neonatal euthanasia might be appropriate. In the 5 years following the publication of the protocol, neither the prediction that this would be the first step on a slippery slope, nor the prediction of complete transparency and legal control became true. Instead, we experienced a transformation of the healthcare system after antenatal screening policy became a part of antenatal care. This resulted in increased terminations of pregnancy and less euthanasia.
在荷兰，新生儿安乐死已成为一种合法选择，《格罗宁根协议》提出了一种识别新生儿安乐死可能适用的情况的方法。在该协议发布后的 5 年中，既没有出现预测的那样这将是滑坡的第一步，也没有出现完全透明和法律控制的情况。相反，我们经历了产前筛查政策成为产前护理一部分后的医疗保健系统的转变。这导致了更多的终止妊娠和更少的安乐死。
